Yes we do maintain a list of installers. Please note the link at the bottom of this page or look on any product page below the listed videos for "Locate installers near me".

For a flat towing setup on a 2015 Jeep Wrangler with a standard factory bumper, you will need five main components consisting of base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, towbar wiring, and a supplemental braking system. I suggest the following:

- Base Plate Kit - Roadmaster, # RM-521448-4
- Tow Bar - Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar, # RM-522
- Safety Cable - Roadmaster Safety Cables, # RM-645
- Towbar Wiring - Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit, # RM-15267
- Supplemental Braking System - Roadmaster InvisiBrake, # RM-8700 plus the Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles, # RM-88400

In addition, you may or may not need a high/low adapter which will attach to the RV's trailer hitch receiver and lower/raise the height at which the tow bar connects to the RV. Generally speaking, in order to find the correct high-low adapter you will first need to measure from the ground up to the center of the trailer hitch receiver opening and then from the ground up to the center of the base plate kit. The difference between these measurements will give you the correct amount of rise/drop you will want to look for in a high-low adapter.

It is recommended that from the ground to the center of your base plate is within 3" from the ground to the center of your trailer hitch receiver. I have attached an article that will further explain this process for you.

Please note the links below for product review and installation videos of the items listed. Along with a help article you will hopefully find of value.
