Flat Towing in the Dark? Here’s the Safety Light You Didn’t Know You Needed

Hey, Mavericks!

Flat towing during the day? No problem.

Flat towing at night? Now we’ve got a problem—and not enough RVers are talking about it.

Whether you’re rolling out early to beat traffic or pulling into a Harvest Host after sunset, those dark hours come with way more risk when you’ve got a towed vehicle behind your motorhome.

Let’s break down why nighttime flat towing is dangerous—and what you can do to make it safer and less stressful.

⚠️ What Makes Flat Towing at Night So Dangerous?

Most modern cars won’t let you run the headlights when the ignition is off. That means your towed vehicle has no front lights while you’re towing it.

So while your RV may be lit up like a Christmas tree from behind, the front of your towed rig is basically invisible to anyone merging, turning, or passing in low light.

Here’s what that leads to:

  • Drivers merging into your towed vehicle because they don’t know it’s there

  • Tailgaters following way too close, thinking you’re just a slow RV

  • Near misses in intersections or lane changes

And the worst part? You’re 20+ feet away in the RV cab with no idea it’s happening.

🧩 The Setup and Teardown Struggle

If you’ve ever had to:

  • Connect your tow bar in the dark

  • Crawl under your RV with a flashlight in your mouth

  • Hook up safety cables by feel because your headlamp died…

You know nighttime towing isn’t just risky—it’s annoying.

More light = fewer mistakes.

But your vehicle’s headlights are off. And unless you’re running some aftermarket light bars or rigging up a DIY setup, you’re fumbling around.

🛠️ The Solution: Tow-n'-Glow

Tow-n’-Glow is the Towed Vehicle Safety Night Light that solves this entire issue.

It’s a compact, weatherproof LED that mounts to the front of your towed vehicle and acts like a headlight—even when your towed vehicle’s real lights are off.

🔌 How it works:

  • Pulls power from your 6-pin cable’s running light pin

  • Turns on automatically with your RV’s running lights

  • No switches, no batteries, no setup

💡 What it does:

  • Makes your towed vehicle clearly visible from the front

  • Prevents merges, blind spots, and rear-end confusion

  • Helps with nighttime hookups, camp arrivals, and low-light visibility

If you tow, you need to glow.

🧠 Less Thinking, More Driving

Towing a vehicle already adds extra tension to your drive:

  • Did I latch the tow arms?

  • Is the cable dragging?

  • Is someone going to hit my Jeep?

Tow-n’-Glow removes a massive mental load from the equation:

  • You’ll know your towed vehicle is clearly visible

  • It turns on without you thinking about it

  • It just works—every time

And that peace of mind? Worth every penny.

🧭 Final Thoughts

Flat towing is common. But flat towing safely—especially at night—is a next-level move.

Don’t leave the front of your towed vehicle in the dark. Tow-n’-Glow lights it up the second you flip on your RV lights.

It’s small. It’s smart. And it just might save you from a merge-side disaster.

Stay safe. Stay seen. Stay wild, Mavericks. 🚍💡
