I am a newbie to this site.
I've recently sold my fifth wheel and purchased a 2004 Holiday Rambler Ambassador. I am having base plates installed so I can tow my 2009 Pontiac vibe. I will need to wire the toad for lights. What is the best procedure? Both my coach and the toad have yellow turn signal lights. Any help or advise would be appreciated.

I doubt the connector on the rear of your MH is wired for yellow turn signals it is probably a 4 or 5 plug. It may have a adapter to change it to make the brake and directional the same bulb like on a trailer.
Check the tail light bulb area on your car and see if you have room to install another bulb and socket behind the lens. Then you just need to run your wires from the front of the car to the bulbs.
If you don't have the room you will have to cut into the tail light wiring and install diodes(sp). Still running the wiring from the front of the toad to the lights in the back.
Blue Ox and the other tow bar manufacturs have kits already made up to handle this.

Thanks for your reply. I will try to find the wiring kit online. I am also checking with my local RV dealers.

My hold up is the difficulty of finding the brackets for a 2009 model. Two suppliers have promised to supply them but so far, no luck. Hurry up and wait!
