Recommended Towed Vehicle Air Force One Supplemental Braking System for Diesel Motorhomes

Question

Question:

I purchased a used diesel motorhome w/air brakes that already has the required equipment, so I really just need the towed vehicle parts. Is there a kit for that: 2017 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited?

Congrats on your new purchase! Yes, there are three options for the tow vehicle only side of the Demco Air Force One Supplemental Braking System for Motorhomes with Air Brakes item # SM99243. Which one you need will depend on the year, make, and model of your new motorhome because they all have different connectors. I have listed the options below:

2021 and Newer Freightliner Chassis Motorhomes with BrakeSync - Demco Air Force One Braking System item # DM23MV

2020 and Newer Tiffin Chassis Motorhomes - Demco Air Force One Supplemental Braking System item # DM55MV

2019 and Newer Spartan K2 400 Chassis RVs with Safe Haul - Demco Air Force One Flat Tow Brake System item # DM54YV

Some other parts you will need to flat tow your 2017 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon are listed below:

Tow Bar and Safety Chains - etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar item # e74ZR

Base Plate Kit - Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms item # 1444-3

Wiring Harness - Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit item # RM-15267

High Low Adapter - The tow bar needs to be within 3" of level. If you measure the height of the inside top of the hitch receiver tube on your RV, and the height difference is more than 3 inches above/below the base plate tab height, you'll need a high/low adapter. I have linked a FAQ article that explains all this in more detail along with our selection of adapters.
