First you will need a Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521451-5 for your 2022 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. This kit will not fit if you have the active air shutters on your Cherokee. If that is the case please let me know.

To connect to the base plate you I recommend the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-522. You may need a Roadmaster High-Low Adapter # RM-048-4 to keep the tow bars within their 3" of level. With the Roadmaster base plate the height of the arms are 20-1/4". You will need to measure the height of the receiver on your 2016 Thor Vegas to determine if you need an adapter. Once you have this measurement let me know the height and I can ensure if you need an adapter.

A Roadmaster Quiet Hitch # RM-061 will help eliminate the play in the tow bars or the adapter allowing for less noise and a longer life span out of your tow bars.

The RoadMaster Falcon All-Terrain Combo Towing Kit # RM-9243-1 will give you the safety cables, storage cover, bag and wiring needs for your Cherokee. If you have the Parksense proximity sensors you will need to use the Roadmaster Smart Diodes # RO54FR in place of the standard diodes in the towing kit. A Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit # RM-156-25 is also needed to prevent the battery on your Jeep from becoming fully discharged while it is being towed.

I recommend the Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # SM99251 for your braking system. This system is mounted on your Jeep so all you have to do is flip a switch to activate the braking system when you place the vehicle in neutral. The Stay-IN-Play looks for both signal input from the tail lights of your motorhome as well as the inertia that you are stopping before activating the brakes in your Jeep. This prevents false braking if you are covering the brakes or coasting to a stop.

Good question; so the issue with your 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee is that it doesn't technically have a traditional stop light switch, which is why you are having trouble getting 12 volts. The good news is the Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking…

The 10 amp diodes of the Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System #SM99251 are only needed if your tow wiring harness is not diode-protected, though most are. In case it is not, you will install the diodes in-line with the green and…

When you use the Demco Stay In Play part #DM86VR in your 1993 Jeep YJ Wrangler you will need to use the brake lite relay part #RM-88400 to prevent the Demco from overriding the turn signals when it steps on the brake.

We do have converters that do separate out the combined brake light and turn signal but #TR118821 is not one of them. What you can use instead is tail light converter #118158 or #C56196. They both do the same thing. The white input wire is ground…
