I will be towing my 2014 Jeep Wrangler with my motor home soon. I see in the instructions in the operators manual that they say to disconnect the battery when towing...
Does anyone that tows a Jeep Wrangler disconnect the battery when towing?
I don't need to remove a fuse when I tow my '13 Wrangler as my supplemental brake system takes care of that for me. I use US Gear's Unified Tow Brake system that isolates the brake light switch so that the towing vehicles lights and the Jeeps work as they should.
If the brake light switch is not isolated in the Jeep, the turn signals in the Jeep are overridden when the supplemental brakes are applied. Additionally, without a 12v charge line from the towing vehicle and isolating the brake light circuit, the towed vehicles battery can be depleted.
Folks that don't use supplemental brake systems won't have an issue with battery draw down or turn signal overrides.
