Towing a car

We have the Stay-In-Play system for ur Jeep Wrangler towed by a gas powered Coach House Class C; it's made3 by SMI and very reliable. If your RV is diesel and has air brakes, I'd recommend the AirForceOne system also made by SMI. Suggest that you go to several RV dealers and get their sales talk on what system will be the best for you before making decision.

IMO, it's the NSA READYBRUTE/ELITE with the optional READYSTOP breakaway feature for simplicity and the best bang for the buck.
A variety of base plate brands can be used and NSA will supply the adapters. I chose a DEMCO for our Wrangler.
Wiring can be done in a number of ways and in the case of the Wrangler, I chose a COOLTECH wiring harness.
All new stuff and did my own install. List below.
RB-9050 Ready Brake tow bar with brake and safety cables $864.95
RS-5000 breakaway $87.50
TBC tow bar cover $50.00

Sub Total $1322.20
Cool Tech JK Tow Harness Deluxe Kit SKU:JK07CTHDLX $139.95
Shipping $16.00

Grand Total $1478.15

We use a Roadmaster tow bar with a Roadmaster 5000 tow bar. I love it and it is easy to attach, hook up and unhook. I had a dolly but my Mazda B4000 wouldn't fit so I can'tcomment on tow dollys.

I have used the Blue-Ox Tow Bar and the Brake Buddy braking system for years on different vehicles....No Problems.

On my 2014 GC I use a Roadmaster BlackHawk 2 All-Terrain tow bar setup with a RVi2 brake system. I really like the portability of the RVi2 unit.

Thanks for the welcomes and also thanks so much for all the input, it is very helpful to us first timers...

I opted for the ready brute elite tow bars. The only system with the brake integrated into the bars. It's a surge brake and totally mechanical so nothing to fail and nothing to install every time you want to tow and it's not invasive to any of the vehicles electrical or vacuum systems. I used blue ox base plates. They are virtually invisible when not towing. For lights I used the blue ox lighting kit. This kit is more difficult to install as it requires installing an extra set of bulbs into the rear lenses, but it's totally independent from the vehicles electrical system and runs on the MH's power, so no fuses to pull or diodes to install. This system works great. I can hook up in less than a minute.

It's cheaper from Amazon

As for reliable towing, I've used the Blue Ox towbar for three different MH's and 4 different toads. It has been PM'ed at Quartzsite about 4 years ago and has performed flawlessly for over 10 fulltimeing years. I also use the Blue Ox base Plates. They are well engineered for each vehicle and either invisible or nearly invisible when not towing. There are some that are well respected baseplates that look like a snow plow mount. Not attractive on your car at all. I also use the Brake Buddy for all those different MH's and tow cars. Again, flawless performance. If I had it to do over, I'd probably chose a different braking system because they have come a long way from the 12 year old unit it have....but it still works, so why spend needless money.
