Product Description
The Roadmaster 153782 is a towed-vehicle wiring kit with Smart Diodes, for towed vehicles with incandescent (standard bulb) taillights. It lets the towed vehicle's own taillights show the motorhome's turn, brake and running light signals while flat towing, and the diodes prevent current from feeding back into either vehicle's electrical system.
Many newer vehicles use multiplex (variable-voltage) lighting, where one wire carries more than one signal. With ordinary diodes, those vehicles can show the brake lights whenever the running lights are on. Smart Diodes adjust the voltage so only the intended circuit lights up. Each vehicle needs two Smart Diodes, and this complete kit includes both plus the harness and supplies to run the wiring from the front of the towed vehicle to the taillights.
Vehicles with LED taillights need the LED version of this kit (Roadmaster 153789). If you're not sure which your vehicle has, contact us with the year, make and model.

Pro tipWiring and battery tips
- Protect the car’s wiring. Diodes or a separate bulb kit keep the motorhome’s lighting signal from feeding back into the towed vehicle’s electrical system.
- Watch the battery. Some vehicles drain their battery when flat towed; the owner’s manual will say whether you need a charge line or battery disconnect.
