Towing a Jeep

[Eric Johnson]

Scott,
I've used a Blue Ox tow bar to tow Jeep Wranglers for the past 6 years/40,000
miles with
no problems or repairs. Tow bar stays on the coach and is easy to hook up.
Tail light
wiring described by Dan is the way to go. Very simple job.

I've used two different Blue Ox baseplates during this time. One is bolted to
the frame
with two bolts and is easy to remove. This is a benefit to me because I like to
take it off
when we go four wheeling to get maximum clearance and to avoid damaging the base
plate. This baseplate has been discontinued but you may be able to pick one up
used on
the Blue Ox website.

The second baseplate uses multiple bolts and is more substantial but once it's
installed,
it's a bear to remove. I don't use this one and will sell it to anyone that's
interested.
