How to hook up a toad to an RV using a tow bar?
I just installed base plates on my 2002 Wrangler and have purchased a Smitty Bilt tow bar to connect to the tow hook on my RV.
Before I do something wrong, I wanted to ask ...
1) Is there a right or wrong way to connect the Wrangler to the RV, as in, do you connect the tow bar first to the RV and then drive the Wrangler in position to attach the tow bar arms? Or, vice versa, where you first connect the arms to the Wrangler and then hook it onto the RV's tow hook (much like a regular trailer would work)?
2) The base plates on the Wrangler sit a little higher than the tow hook on the RV, so the tow bar will not be completely level to the ground. Is this a potential problem?
Thanks!

P.S. Yes, I have already installed a lighting kit on the Wrangler to connect to the RV (so the blinkers, running lights, ... will work while towed) + I have a braking system (BrakeBuddy) in the Wrangler.
