New (maybe) Class A owner and Jeep JK
We might be pulling the trigger on a new Class A motorhome this weekend. I have a 2015 Jeep wrangler JK that I would like to use as a toad. I currently have a TT so I am totally new to the motorhome...

My last years Jeep was a 2015 2 Door with the Falcon II Tow Bar and Base Plate, along with a SMI Stay and Play Brake System. The SMI Stay and Play did not work well with my DP, as the Brake Light stays on whenever the exhaust brake is on, which also kept my Jeep Brakes on excessively.
Hmmm? I wonder if I may be in for a surprise with my SMI Duo set-up on my Jeep. Our current DP is new to us and I have not towed the Jeep yet with it. We've towed the Jeep many, many miles succesfully using the SMI Duo but that was with our former gaser coach. Yes, I am aware of the brake light activation signal that is used on the SMI Duo and wonder how light I may need to set the GFC in the Jeep. How light did you set the G-Force Controller or were you ever able to set it lightly enough to keep it from activating when your retarder activated? With my two stage compression brake on this 8.9L ISL Cummins and the compression brake on the highest setting, there is significant braking-certainly more than enough to activate the SMI unit unless the GFC is set lightly. Don't know about this one-I guess I will just have to give it go.
