What Do I Need To Add To Flat-Tow A Jeep?
I'm planning to get a Jeep Wrangler and tow it behind a motorhome. I've read a little about doing this and I'm seeing a number of steps that can be involved to get the Jeep and RV set up correctly. ...

Tom has more towing capacity with his diesel motorhome, probably a 10,000lb drawbar, so he can easily pull both a Jeep and trailer. On that basis, he has more options for towing.
Just a question,, Why would anyone that is planing on towing anything, buy a coach not capable of the job?
We knew we were going to tow, we thought we would be towing our 2002 Dodge 3/4 ton diesel. We wanted a 34-38 foot coach, we couldn't find one that had the capability with the safety cushion we wanted, so we bought the 40' Newmar and a year later we ended up towing the jeep. and some times the trailer loaded.
and yes with the trailer we have more options.
I have seen the results of several accidents involving motorhomes and towed vehicles. every one where the coach hit something solid the tow bar was destroyed, and there was damage to the coach, and the towed. Both accidents that involved cars on trailers, the cars stayed on the trailer and was unloaded and driven away.
not saying that is always the case.
