- mowermechExplorerThe Owners Manual gives instructions on towing the Jeep behind a motorhome.
It also flatly states it can NOT be towed on a dolly.
Well, actually, it can be dolly towed, IF the rear drive shaft is removed. The manual doesn't tell you that. - rk911Explorer

WHY
when wiring for the brakes i strongly suggest you avoid using diodes im the OEM wiring harness and instead install a completely independent wiring harness using separate bulbs in the taillight assemblies. we originally used diodes but they blew while on a trip leaving us with no tail lights or brake lightson the jeep. we made repairs but they blew again on the return trip home. we removed the diode and returned the wiring harness to its original condition and then installed an independent wiring harness and bulbs. that was 13-yrs ago and no problems since. - Tom_BarbExplorer II

We are exploring the move from a 40' 5'ver to a Class A. Would like to tow a 03' Jeep Wrangler. Can I tow 4 down or do I need a Dolly?
depends. if an automatic and the transfer case has a manually selectable neutral position then, yes. we towed our '03 Wrangler Sport for thousands of miles for 7-years with just one problem. our '03 required us to put the key in the ignition and turned to the UNLOCK/OFF position. coming into Nashville one day the steering wheel locked up resulting in two damaged tires...one completely shredded and the other was serviceable for a few miles but had to be replaced. had that not been our last year towing the TJ I would've had the steering wheel lock completely removed. you might want to look into that. - PopBeaversExplorer IIYou might need to add diodes to the wiring.
- Tom_BarbExplorer IIit is very easy to tow a jeep. place the transfer case in Neutral, be certain the steering isn't locked, hook up and go.
The type of bumper you have will determine what tow bar and brackets you'll need.
your state and local laws will determine what brake system you'll need, if any.
