"You can never have enough safety. One thing that's a good idea is a safety globe similar to this. Now these are cheap. I picked this one up for ten dollars at Harbor Freight. And it plugs right in to your cigarette lighter. What we are going to do is install this on the top of the roof while we are loading, unloading or towing the vehicle. The bottom has a magnet on the center and it will stick right to the roof, no other installation required. We are going to run the wire to the door and plug it right in to the cigarette lighter. That way there will always be an orange light going off which signals safety as we all know. And then people know, you are towing a vehicle, you are loading a vehicle, to use caution and be prepared for what's up ahead. Now all we have to do is plug this in the cigarette lighter and we are ready to go."
