slightly too old to use the factory/Mopar towed vehicle wiring harness (82211156AB).
you'll need something to enable the tail/stop/turn lights while towing....
you can use magnetic lights (but theyre a pain the butt).
there are a few alternative (including the installation of extra bulbs in the factory taillights)
check out these tow-bar wiring options -HERE
you'll need some base-plates mounted to the Jeep (front) so you can connect a tow bar too....and don't forget the safety chains between the jeep & the coach.
on Jeep PRIOR to 2009 (iirc) that have a steering wheel lock - you'll need to pull a fuse (under the hood) to disable the ignition & then you'll need to insert a key in the ignition & turn the key to the ON (aka unlocked steering wheel) position - while TOWING (to prevent the steering wheel & steer tires from locking / dragging thru turns).
if you DONT disable the ignition you'll run the battery down (while towing).
