Took our brand new Jeep Cherokee Trail Hawk to our local Camping World, at American RV in Grand Rapids, MI, to have base plates, wiring and an InvisiBrake system installed. 12 hr job total so we left it for a couple days. We had Roadmaster system with our Wrangler and went with those base plates again.
The installation of the base plates necessitated the removal of the red tow hooks and will require use of the horizontal tow bar when actually being towed. We didn't require it with the previous Jeep Wrangler but had it in a labeled box in the garage. Which is where the red tow hooks now are stored. We have ordered some rubber covers from Roadmaster for the receivers on the front of the TrailHawk, just for asthetics. They were $14, incl tax/shipping.
The InvisBrake fits nicely under the driver seat. The power seat mechanism caused the control box to extend maybe 1-2 inches behind the driver seat, but the floor mat in the back seat covers it and it is barely noticeable there. There is a monitoring panel that goes in the motorhome dash, and that was installed while we waited when we returned with the coach to pick up the TrailHawk. Camping World did a fantastic job with that install also.
On the 70 mile trip home with the TrailHawk towing behind the coach, we couldn't even feel it back there. Smooth as could be. Braking smooth also. We are very happy with the whole system and especially happy with our Camping World. They did a great job and were as helpful as could be.
We are once again 'Happy Campers" and we are now ready to roll !!!!
I didn't think to take any close up pics of the front of the TrailHawk, but will do so soon and post.
BTW--Camping World is running a installation special. We saved over $600 on the labor. Whooeeee!
