Expert Reply:
For a vehicle as old as yours the best option is going to be a magnetic tow bar lighting solution like the # TL21RK. I attached a review video as well.
You will also want the # BX88206 to connect this lighting solution to your tow vehicle. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front of your towed vehicle and enough coiled wire to go from there to the RV.
The 4-way of the # TL21RK would need to get cut off and the wires of the kit would get ran to the 6-way.
