How removable is it (the wiring) once intalled? I use a trailer hitch about 3 times a year.

It comes with a male 4 pole plug that plugs into your female recepticle. You simply plug/unplug when you install/remove it.

I use 1 zip tie to keep the wireing harness secured, and simply cut off zip tie and replace when reinstalling after using my utility trailer. Love my step and extra brake lighting.

Its a simple plug - same one used for connecting trailer wiring. I remove it all of the time to use my hitch-mounted bike rack.

It's easy, it has a harness that plugs in. I recommend getting a locking trailer pin if you don't already have one.

If your car is equipped with a trailer hitch that has the wiring harness for lights , all you need to do is connect the male and female plugs. Very Simple.

Is a quick disconnect... Less than a second..it uses default hitch connector

It definitely is removable, though I would imagine that constant moving of it back and forth between vehicles would result in some decreased sticking of the base. It relies mostly on the sticky outer ring to hold it in place so I would assume after repeated movement it would lose some of that.

I would get on to the company if I were you. We have attached our hitch and it is working fine but it has been on there for a long time and we do not have the instructions anymore. See if they can give you something clearer.

Any mechanic or trailer service center should be able to install this. It needs assembly, then the power cable connected. After that you just slide it into the receiver of your hitch.

I have it mounted on the top of the receiver hitch pointed at the trailer ball. That way I can use it to align the ball with the hitch. When the trailer isn't on the truck I can see behind the truck without any obstruction. It's velcrow'd to the ball and I used a couple of heavy duty tie wraps. 2 years+ and 40,000 miles later and it hasn't moved. Hope this helps.

Yes, it is removable. There are a couple screws, and you just loosen them and it slides right off. It is a great box, just don't overfill it, that is hard on the motor. I have one I've had for 13 years, still works.

Not sure. I assembled my trailer per the manufacturer's instructions and they have performed admirably since. Contact Yakima. They have made improvements to the lights/wiring over the years.

No, you don't need to remove the bumper. If you select the right model, the hitch receiver should fit right below the bumper after installation.

I don't really know. But it is solid hitch. I used a floor jack to help with one man self install. Looks factory installed. 100% satisfied.

Yes, there is a lock for the receiver pin that comes with the unit. It is very high quality. This unit is the nicest trailer hitch I've owned. After six months in a heavy rain environment there is no sign of rust or corrosion. I would definitely buy this again.

The threads are very coarse so loosening the chains requires two to three turns of the nuts, using a 1 1/4" socket or crescent wrench. Then you can remove the pin the front where the triangular plate is located and drop both chains down. I found it to be much easier than dealing with the old torsion bar system. However, you do need to carefully set the mount brackets on the trailer frame during initial installation to ensure just the right length.

It doesn't seem to be the case. I have had my trailer and car disconnected for periods of ~ 3 weeks without any problem. I don't remember reading or being warned about this. Good luck with your purchase.

Hi, you can go about either way. That is, you can keep the connector bolted to the seatpost and just remove trailer by releasing qr and pulling bolt off and just leaving a six inch connector piece bolted to seat post OR you can undo all 4 bolts and freeing your seat post of any hardware.

They changed the sending unit harness, its an easy rewire. Bed was off my truck so that made it easier. Instructions were included with part.
