Roadmaster Sterling All Terrain - Manual (Page 15)

13
The Sterling All Terrain tow bar comes equipped with a
fully-wired motorhome-to-towed vehicle electrical cord —
simply plug the cord into the sockets on the motorhome
and the towed vehicle.
If you should need to rewire the plugs and sockets,
follow the instructions below for a four-wire system, or the
instructions on pages 14 and 15 for a six-wire system.
Wiring the plug for a four-wire system
1. Insert the end of the electrical cord through one of the
cable guides.
2. Wire the plug to match your vehicle, or follow Figure
12. Apply a silicone sealant to the wires where they attach
to the plug — this will help prevent damage from moisture
and corrosion.
Wiring the sockets for a four-wire system
1. Find a suitable location to install one of the electrical
sockets on the front of the towed vehicle, in reach of the
existing four-wire harness.
2. Loosen the set screw at the back of the socket, and
push the inner connector out the front. Now, run the four-
wire electrical cord through the back of the housing.
3. Loosen all of the set screws on the side of the sock-
et, and connect the wires to the back of the socket, as
continued on next page
