The users manual for the jeep even says to put it in the unlock position after putting the transfer case in N and transmission in P.

You should not have to unlock the wheel. It should turn without the key in it, we never leave ours in there and lock the doors. Transfer case in "N" and transmission in "P"

It has been awhile since posting last. I have only had the opportunity to tow the Jeep once. I tried the white rag on the steering wheel. From what I could see, all seemed to track correctly. I even lengthened the safety chains. It still drug the jeep around the same corner and stalled out. It really seems to be prevalent when turning right? Still more to do before I throw in the towel.
Thanks to all for the great suggestions. I especially like the post about the ass end of the coach rotating counter to the turn. That explained a lot especially as to why the Jeep jumps up on the curb when I pull away from parking close to it.

Tow bars level and what are they. I forget the year of your Jeep and are you sure the steering isn't locked. Also assuming it's wheels are in proper alignment, but still can't see this happening.
It is a Falcon II tow bar, the jeep is a 2014 Rubicon 4 door. I am very sure the wheels aren't locked. The new Jeeps don't like to have the battery disconnected so when I put the key in the unlock position everything is on. I even tried to disengage the traction control. No Joy .........

How far down the road is this curve from your house. Is this the only curve where this happens. Is your tow bar the kind that has a bar release where you can extend or retract them. Mine has a quick release on each arm. I have noticed on a couple times that one arm did not catch. I usually set the toad brake from the coach to bring the toad back in line with the coach and can feel it lock. If yours is not locked it will indeed travel outside the path of your MH and may very well turn sharper and drag. If any of the above is what you have be sure the bar arms lock. Good luck Larry
