Material for towing a Wrangler with an A Class

[schubi]

Hi,

we, Stefan an d Anja from Germany (sorry for my bad english) want to do full time Rv from May.
Our Team will be an A Class Gas and a Jeep Wrangler from 2012-2016.
So i need Equipment for towing. Here my list:

Blue OX BX 1126 Base Plate 420 $
NSA RV Ready Brute Elite Tow Bar ( RB 9050) 1100$
Cool tech JK Tow Harness Deluxe Kit 150$

We decided to purchase the ReadyBrute Elite because i hope it is the simplest solution.(?) This mechanical action doesn’t require any additional electronics

Do you have any other ideas ?

Thanks

Stefan

If you will be purchasing a jeep be aware that many people equip them with aftermarket front bumpers that have built in tow points, winch mounts, etc. so the baseplate may not be needed. I too have been shopping for a similar jeep to tow behind my motorhome, and out of the ones I have seen for sale locally so far about 30% are already at equipped with an aftermarket front bumper with tow points. This does not seem to significantly effect the price.

Stefan,
Well, your towing equipment is pretty much complete but, just for your information, I'm adding a link to the Hopkins tow harness for your intended Jeep. It's only ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS CHEAPER and, it works flawless. I and many, many others on here and other RV forums have been using it for quite some time with ZERO problems. Just something for you to think about.

Yes the Elite includes braking. I used their not-braked one for many miles and would get another. Add a hitch pin (or lock since your tow bar is not cheap!) and you should be all set.

I think that tow bar has a Ready Brake mechanical cable actuated braking system included with it. I believe you are correct.

[schubi]

who I understood correctly, there ist a mechanical breaking System at the Ready Brute Tow bar.

In some states you'll also need a braking system. There are many on the market. I have the Blue Ox Patriot Brake and like it, but there are others on the market that I'm sure are just as good.
