2013 Winnebago vista 35b flat towing jeep rubicon

First long trip in our new to us Vista 35b, going from Salt Lake City to San Francisco and hitting up Lake Tahoe and Yosemite along the way.

Also MY first time flat towing my Jeep Wrangler rubicon. I have a blue ox tow bar, and the brakes and light done. Still am a little anxious because I’ve never flat towed a vehicle at all!

Anyone else flat tow with the class A gassers?

Any recommendations?
Thank you!!!
Class A

    Great advice!!! We had a tractor trailer lose it on I 80 east just a mile or so east of Donner pass literally right in front of us. I was in the right lane going slow and using my gears as much as possible and he passes in left lane and loses it about 200 ft in front and hits the left bank and starts sliding down both lanes, I slowed as much as possible and went around then pulled off right at the vista point and went to check on him. If I would have been going fast I would have been involved as well.
