It is really quite simple:
READ the instructions in the Owners Manual.
FOLLOW the instructions, VERY carefully.
No problem.
That is what I do when towing my Jeep Wrangler. However, I have made a few modifications to the instructions, based on personal experience:
1. ALWAYS connect the towbar to the motorhome FIRST. Doing this eliminates the need to set the parking brake, so I do not have to worry about releasing it.
2. Put transfer case in Neutral, transmission in 6th gear. Start engine, let the clutch out. If Jeep does not try to move, turn engine off, leave switch in "Off, Not Locked" position (If your Jeep is 2007 or newer, it doesn't have that position).
3. Connect wiring and safety chains.
I'm good to go.
