My wife and I were planning on attending the ROCK AM RING this year. That is where they turn a Formula 1 race track into a 3 day MEGA CONCERT. We new we wanted to pull a camper but was unable to hook up to a Germany trailer. All the part stores and dealerships said it wasn't possible to pull a German Trailer with an American truck because the wiring harnesses were so different, but I said different!!! Here is a custome built European hitch adaptor built right on the my OEM Honda Ridgeline towing hitch.

Quite simply fantastic!! I was under the impression that since the RL had seperate turn signals (not used with brake lights) that is was already European wiring. That was the case with my Element and the wiring harness from honda makes it "americanized".

Actually, what the problem was is that a simple adaptor was not available and a "plug in" wiring harness has never been made. I was running out of time so I decided to build one myself.
