[Vwdiesel] hitch saga

Travis, what converter did you use?  I am thinking of ordering one, as I haven't seen anything like that in town.  I haven't hooked up the other one yet, so it should be returnable.

I tried installing the frame and license tag.  I put it in the flip-down position which looked good until I tried to install the hitch!  The bottom of the ball pushes down on the tag, causing it to pull at the bumper skin.  


So I guess I'll have to deal with figuring out how to attach it from the top, since I didn't leave quite as much bumper skin up there as I had hoped.  Though maybe if I lower it a bit more it'll work OK, but I will then risk exposing the hole from the top.

You don't need the 6 into 4 converter as a 5 into 4 will work. A 6 into 4 is just safer so it doesn't have the chance of buring up the cars electronics since it is powering the trailer from the harness on the car vs having the battery power it and just using a signal run the converter.
