Pulling a jeep
I am going to pull a jeep ranger behind my class C for the first time. Do I need to turn the key on?

Ron asked: "Are you maintaining the stock wheels & tires for towing? "
My 08 wrangler has aftermarket wheels but stock size. The tires are the same size as stock, no lift kit. I forget it is back there and see it in my mirror when making a turn. Occasionally when making a left turn I get a little chirp out of the front wheels. The tires wear fine, my hitch is within specs. I watch it with the camera sometimes but haven't figured it out.
To the original poster here is my 2 cents when outfitting your rig to tow. Do it right the first time, avoid stick on magnetic lights, get the proper wiring, the hitch, the braking system. I use a hydraulic brake actuator in my hitch. Going cheap means doing it again. RV'ing isn't inexpensive however it is more fun when you just hook up and go.
You will really enjoy having your jeep with you.......
