Flat Towing A 2018 Jeep Wrangler on a 2019 Tiffin Wayfarer Motorhome
Question:
We want to tow a 2018 Jeep Wrangler, 2-dr. The RV is pre-wired from the factory for a brake controller. What combination of tow bar and controller would you recommend to complete the package, what is the cost, and is it something that I might be able to install? Everyone I’ve called seems to be swamped with business!! Thank,

Expert Reply:
A trailer brake can only control an electrical brake which would be for pulling a trailer. Since you're flat towing your 2018 Jeep Wrangler 2-dr you'll need the following items:
Tow Bar: Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,000 lbs Item # RM-520
Base Plates: Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms Item # RM-521448-5 these are a confirmed fit for your car and will match with the tow bar I recommended above.
Braking System: I recommend the Blue Ox Patriot 3 Radio Frequency, Portable Braking System - Proportional
# bk2019 it's super easy to install and use.
Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit Item # RM-154 This will use your vehicle's lights so you don't have to attach magnetic lights that could fall off or scratch your paint.
Safety Cables: RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables - 6,000 lbs Item # RM-643 the coils on these will help prevent them from scraping on the ground and becoming damaged.
All of these products (besides the braking system) are manufactured by Roadmaster so you won't have to worry about adapters as these will all work together.
I've attached installation videos to help you install these all by yourself.
