This is our 1996 Saturn SW2 Tow Car or TOAD. It is equipped with a Roadmaster removable tow bar interface which allows us to take all visible interface components off when we are not expected to be towing, like in the winter.

I am using a Roadmaster Falcon, motorhome mounted, tow bar and a 6 wire coiled electrical interface cable between the two.

I use 4 wires in the 6 wire cable for brake and turn signal lights on the car and the other 2 wires in conjunction with a Brake Buddy brake controller on the car.
One wire provides me with a remote indication when the Brake Buddy is activated and the other spare wire provides about 2 amperes of charge current to the Toad's battery.
The latter may not be necessary but I have discovered that towing for long periods in stop and go traffic with the Brake Buddy will place considerable drain on the Toad battery.
I will be more than happy to provide more details on this system to anyone who is interested.
The Saturn is also equipped with a standard 4 inch hitch receiver which we use to carry our bikes via a Reese bike carrier.

This is the third car that I have towed with this coach and the Saturn has proven to be the easiest to hook up and unhook yet and it tows like a dream.
