Do you tow a Jeep behind your 5th wheel?

You beat me to it. To me best idea.
Also, does Louisiana require a different license to legally drive/tow that much combined GVWR ?

Excellent point. If this is a one-time deal, this is likely the better way to go!

Rented a Jeep in Moab for two days, $230.00/day. All I need to do is get a wireless tail light for $100.00 and I'm set. I've already towed the Jeep to Colorado 5 times behind the truck without the 5th wheel.

I've towed my boat behind the 5th wheel a couple of times here in Louisiana. We just have a length requirement. I'll do my best to find out what I can in the other states.

Doesn’t matter it’s based on your states laws.

My jeep (now someone else's jeep) did just fine behind my truck, my FW, and my MH. In all cases I used a Brake Buddy auxiliary brake system.

I taped into the FW brake lights and installed a 4 pin plug for the jeeps lights. Also used the plug for other trailers I pulled behind the FW.

Just make sure both hitches, the FW and the one on the FW, are up to the job. On most trips to the desert I see at least one jeep tailgating a FW :). I won't get into the legality of it as that is a whole can of worms.

Definitely get a braking system. The dynamics of that much weight pushing the rear of the fifth wheel could be hairy.

You really should look where he lives. the OP is based in Louisiana so uses a La. license. Does La require an upgrade to tow that much combined gvwr ?
It's like my Tx " A " non CDL. If I didn't have it , only a C , and had a wreck or had to show to LEO while towing my rig , it's called driving without a license.

Fan of trucks and either I use my Ram or Jeep when towing my rv. If you are planning to that you might want to use a hitch. recommending this hitch https://www.jeepsareus.com/sku/82208219.html. What model of Jeep do you own as each model can only tow a specific weight at the back?

The camper is a 5th wheel.
