Here's what I came up with for towing MV's and civi stuff. Some of which is borrowed from members on here.
1st cable is a 3 foot long, one end plugs into the standard MV trailer plug on truck, other end is standard 4 wire plug(vehicle side) for civilian stuff.

2cd cable is 35 foot long, also plugs into the MV trailer plug on truck, and has a trailer side 4 wire civilian plug.

3rd cable is a standard magnetic tow light set, with the cables extended, and 24 volt bulbs.

To tow another MV, I used the 1st and second cables plugged together, hooking the trailer recepticals on both vechicles together. Then disconnect the turn signal switch on the towed MV. Now the lights on the towed vechicle will operate with the lights on the towing truck. The headlights will also work, I disconnect the grounds on the headlights to turn them off, and not overload the light switch in the towing truck.

To tow a civi trailer or truck, I use the 1st and 3rd cables. 1st cable goes on the towing truck in the trailer receptical, then plug the magnatic lights in. Slap them on whatever your towing, and you are good to go.
Here's a pic of the wiring on the MV trailer recptical, for wiring a standard 4 wire civilian plug.
