Can The Jeep Trailer Connector be Used For Connection to Motorhome When Flat Towing the Jeep

Expert Reply:

No, if you plugged an extended trailer connector from the motorhome into the trailer connector on your Jeep you would create a short circuit situation that would damage both the Jeep and the motorhome.

I would recommend using a bulb and socket wiring kit, # RM-155, to wire your Jeep, if there is room in the Jeep taillight housing to mount the extra bulb. If you can send me your Jeep year-make-model, I will be glad to check to see if there is room for a bulb and socket kit.

If a bulb and socket kit will not fit, you will need to use diodes, part # RM-154, to prevent the motorhome electrical signals from back feeding onto the Jeep electrical system. We have a video showing this type of install on a Jeep Liberty which should be helpful.
