Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2021 Jeep Wrangler With Class A Motorhome With Air Brakes
Question:
I have a Class A motorhome with air brakes and want to flat tow my 2021 Jeep Wrangler. Can you help me put together a list of needed parts?

Expert Reply:
Certainly, for your 2021 Jeep Wrangler, to flat tow behind a motorhome with air brakes properly and safely requires at least 5 components:
1) Base plate kit installed on the towed vehicle
2) Tow bar making the connection to tow vehicle and vehicle being towed
3) Safety cables in case the tow bar fails (some tow bars come with this added item)
4) Wiring to synchronize your RV’s indicator lights and the towed vehicles lights
5) Supplemental braking system to synchronize your RV’s brakes and the towed vehicle's
There may be additional components needed to specific set-up to adapt your towed and RV. Example, a high/low adapter to adjust the tow bar height.
- etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit, # e98948
- Tow Bar: etrailer XHD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e94ZR (safety cables included)
- Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267
- Supplemental Braking System: Demco SBS Air Force One Supplemental Braking System for Motorhomes with Air Brakes # SM99243
Setting up the etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit, # e98948 is an easy install and once in place there is no obtrusive crossbar or protruding brackets. This base plate kit matches well to the etrailer XHD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e94ZR that has needed safety cables included. The heavy-duty etrailer XHD tow bar is tough and built to last. Sturdy, modular steel construction offers increased weight capacity and strength to pull up to 10,500 lbs.
The Roadmaster Wiring Kit # RM-15267 lets you wire your vehicle to accept your RV's indicator lights and has diodes that prevent electrical feedback. I suggest the Demco SBS Air Force One Supplemental Braking System for Motorhomes with Air Brakes # SM99243 because this is a truly proportional braking system that uses the air pressure from your RV's brakes to apply the Jeep's brakes evenly to the RV.
