I am the now the owner of an Allegro Red. The next step is to be able to tow my 2009 Sienna Van. Have any of you in the SoCal, Los Angeles, San Fernando Valley area dealt with a shop you would recommend for this work? Any comments on towing the Sienna? Thanks in advance. Gary

The wiring side of the Remco pump installation is really pretty basic. Even the plumbing side is well within the capabilities of the average shade tree mechanic. The toad side installation on our two RAV4's each took perhaps an hour and a half, not including the tail/brake light wiring that comes with it. That part took about another hour or so, just as it would regardless of the supplier. I can't be real specific on the times, since I was doing the base plate and ReadyBrake installation at the same time. The coach side was probably another hour or so, most of it routing the wiring along the frame and mounting the 6-pin socket at the rear bumper and the dash pump controller. Again, I was wiring the socket for the toad lights at the same time, along with another socket for the toad charge line, etc. None of it was technically difficult.

I have found Advanced RV in Newbury Park to be skilled in all things related to motorhomes. You might. Give them a call...

A hitch shop should be well aware of all the wiring necessary to tow a car. The mechanics of the pump is fairly simple.

Remco may have a list of installers in the area.
