Supplemental Braking System for Flat Towed 2004 Jeep Liberty
Question:
i have 2004 jeep liberty that i want to tow behind my motorhome and my dodge ram what is the best brake system?
asked by: David A
Expert Reply:
Because the floor in front of the driver's seat of the 1st gen Jeep Liberty isn't completely flat, a portable braking system like the # HM39524 Brake Buddy wouldn't be the best choice for your vehicle.
I'd recommend a supplemental braking system from Demco like # SM99251 if the motorhome has hydraulic brakes or # SM99243 for motorhomes with air brakes. You'll also need the # RM-88400 relay is required to prevent the towed vehicle's brake signal from overriding the turn signal from the RV when applying the brakes during a turn. It is not required when using magnetic tow lights.
