For your 2012 Jeep Liberty Sport 4WD, I recommend the Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # 521433-1 to start your flat tow set-up. I've attached a video of this installation to help.

For a tow bar, I recommend the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,000 lbs # RM-520 along with safety cables # RM-643. Then for your tow vehicle wiring, I recommend the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. This will give you a 7-way to 6-way connection between vehicles and allow you to use the factory wiring of your Liberty Sport while protecting it as well. It makes connecting your vehicles easy and gives you a clean look.

For your supplemental braking system, I recommend the SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System - Proportional # SM99251. This system is a proportional system that will apply the brakes in your Jeep with the same intensity and at the same time as you hit the brake pedal in your 2005 Holiday Rambler 30 PPD. This is a very reliable system that will only need adjustment at installation and then becomes a plug and play system.

The final thing you may need is a high-low adapter to allow you proper towing height. I've attached a link to our available parts and have also attached an article to assist you in getting the correct fit.

This will give you a complete set-up for your Jeep Liberty Sport. Let me know if you have any further questions.

Can a 2012 Jeep Liberty be towed behind a motor home with a tow dolly?

According to the owners manual I found that if you have a two wheel drive Liberty it can be towed with a dolly with the REAR wheels off the ground. There is a specific procedure to follow in your owner's manual to avoid damage to your Jeep. I recommend using the Demco Kar Kaddy # DM9713093 if you don't already have the dolly. If you have a 4 wheel drive Liberty you cannot tow it with a dolly.

I took the picture you sent us and put an arrow on it that points out where the fuse of the fan you have is located. Basically you have a Fan-Tastic roof vent like the part #FV802250 and most likely you have a blown fuse.
