Hardware costs for flat-towing (brackets/wiring/tow bar)....

Seeking general estimates please. I know it will depend upon which brake system, tow bar, etc. but just wanted a general idea on the associated cost(s) to go from a tow-dolly to 4-down. Thinking of us...

The use of a charge line depends upon the toad battery discharge when towed. My Jeep doesn't use any power when towed hence a charge line is not required. Other cars vary even when the ignition is off.

In my opinion the draw from an auxiliary brake is limited and a charge line is not normally needed, but your mileage may vary.
