Recommended Flat Towing Components For A 2014 Jeep Wrangler Behind A 2020 Winnebago Navion Motorhome
Question:
I have a 2020 Winnebago Navion and want to flat tow a 2014 two door Jeep Wrangler. Can you recommend a flat tow arm and baseplate combination for that setup. Thanks

Expert Reply:
Yes, I have the following flat towing components to allow you to tow your 2014 Jeep Wrangler behind your 2020 Winnebago Navion:
Baseplate: Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521448-5.
Tow Bar: etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e74ZR. This tow bar comes with safety cables bracketed to the arms so that you won't have to purchase them separately or worry about them dragging on the ground. The head and shank are also adjustable to help keep the tow bar level without the need of a high/low adapter.
Tow Bar Wiring System: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. This diode kit will splice into your tail light wiring and properly display the traffic signals from your motorhome through the tail lights of your Wrangler.
Braking System: Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # SM99251. This fixed system will provide proportional braking with no setup after the initial installation. This system does activate off of the brake lights so if your Navion has an engine brake then you'll want to go with the Roadmaster Invisibrake # RM-8700 instead.
Since you'll need to disconnect the battery in order to flat tow your Wrangler I recommend installing a disconnect switch # RM-766 to make it as easy as pressing a button to disconnect and reconnect the battery.
