Haddy1 appears to win the prize for this tricky question. Thank You, Haddy1 for your prompt reply. I found the fuse and it is exactly as you described. Very easy to access and pull. I will give it a try at my earliest opportunity. I assume you pull this fuse whenever you tow your 2007 Wrangler? I would more than welcome any advice and suggestions you can offer to help me with the proper and safe towing of this vehicle.
Currently I have installed a Blue Ox baseplate, full electrical connector and wiring to attach to coach, full set of diodes at rear lights and plan on using my Brake Buddy that I have been using to tow my VW Beetle.
When hitched up and connected to the coach everything worked as expected except I did not attempt to pull it until now when I realized the ignition switch doesn't allow unlocking the steering without powering on the vehicle.
The other option to power the Brake Buddy is to access the auxiliary
12 volts available at the coach 7 pin connector and run an additional wire into the Jeep if I were to use a battery disconnect switch instead.
Thanks to everyone for their input.
