Help choosing towing system Sunseeker Class C
Hello, fellow RVers. We have a 2013 Sunseeker 3170 and a 2012 Jeep Rubicon. Just came off a trip where we had a medical emergency but no Jeep! Please help us determine what we need to buy to tow it. ...

CW if you a re member has a $39 install on items THEY SELL. A falcon Towbar runs just under $800 is all terrain and works well. Dont buy the tow shields as they are not worth the $500 IMO, only saw 1 or 2 with them in 4000 miles plus. The light kit they sold me was $100 ($29 install). Make sure you have them if you have them install add a charge line to the system (they didn't on mine, dead battery on towd 1st day out).
But I would recommend that you go the craigs list route, can find good stuff cheap if you know what to look for. We bought out RV and it came with the tow bar, the brake system for the car. CW did the install on the base plate and light wire kit. Their price for the baseplate was about $100 more than I could get off internet but then you need to install yourself or pay a shop to do. I took the lazy way and spent the $100 extra. So base plate install wire kit etc came to about $700. Like wise the add a brake systems are on CL all the time eally dont know that they are worth the 1000's they cost since most can be found for a couple of hundered and have minimal install requirements. I added the one we got and it took about 2 hours total install. It is one tht runs about $1000, but CW was not familiar with brand (surprise) but it was easy to hook up and it stays in place on the vehicle no need to put in take out.
Too many folks go the new only route, but there are good items needing to be 'recycled' as they say for much less. Another thing would be to add a sirius radio system, about $10 a month $70 initial outlay. Used ours extensively this summer and its one that can be transferred between vehicles by plug and play. Just a thought for ya.
