Must Motor home lights be on to tow a Jeep Cherokee?

Yes, we purposely bought the Active Drive II so that we could tow. I also thought that it was odd that the MoHo lights would have to be on. I don't mind that, but it doesn't make sense to me.

Things were much easier with the old Jeep. But, that's been passed along to our oldest grandson who just drove off to college in it.

Thank all of you for the replies. I also suspect that it's a wiring misconfiguration. I'll keep all of you posted. I'm taking it back in this coming week.
