Parts Needed To Flat Tow a 2023 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon With a 2020 Forest River Sunseeker  

Question:

Just bought a 2023 Jeep wrangler Rubicon and I have a 2020 Forest River Sunseeker 2500TS. Looking for information and recommendations on flat towing it. I know this is not really your job, really like the website and all the information on it, just looking for a little help. So many choices looking for some opinions.

Actually, you came to the correct place as this is what we do best. To start you are going to need a base plate of which I recommend using the Roadmaster # RM-521453-5. I have found Roadmaster to have some of the best components for flat towing as they test more extensively than other companies. The Roadmaster Nighthawk All-Terrain Tow Bar # RM-676 will allow you to connect your 2023 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon to your 2020 Forest River Sunseeker 2500TS. You may need one of the adapters from the list below to keep the tow bars within 3" of level to prevent damage to the tow bars. It is best to measure the height of the base plate after it is installed to get an exact measurement but when we mounted on a similar Jeep we found it to have a height of 16-1/4".

4" Rise/Drop # RM-048-4
6" Rise/Drop # RM-048-6
8" Rise/Drop # RM-048-8
10-1/4" Rise/Drop # RM-048-10

For the electrical you will need the Roadmaster Accessory Kit # RM-9284-2 and a Charge Line # RM-156-25. If your Wrangler has the ParkSense system you will need to replace the basic diodes in the accessory kit with the Smart Diodes # RO54FR.

Finally I recommend installing the Demco Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # DM86VR. This setup helps to reduce the risk of the brakes on your Jeep either not activating when they should or activating when they shouldn't. The brake system looks for both the brake light activation from your motorhome and the inertia which occurs when braking. The majority of the system installs under your hood so you will not loose any interior space or have a large box you have to carry around. And when you are ready to flat tow you simply flip a switch to turn the system on.
