• Will Motor Home Body Block the Signal from a Wireless Braking System when Flat Towing a Car
  I am not sure which braking system you are referring to but the Even Brake # RM-9400 and the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR both use RF transmitters for the wireless connection between the unit in the toad and the motor home handheld unit. RF signals are much more reliable than many other forms of wireless communication and we haven't had anyone have issues with connectivity on either braking system that was caused by too great of a distance or too much material between the toad and the handheld...

• What Would Cause Hitch Ball to Wear Excessively After 30 Miles
  I spoke with my contact at Draw-Tite and he said excessive turning could wear a groove into a hitch ball if the ball is not kept well lubricated. He recommended keeping the hitch ball well lubed with a lithium automotive grease like # 58117 to reduce friction. You will also want to check up inside the coupler for any debris that may be grinding away at the ball. Also if the ball is smaller than what the coupler requires the coupler would be able to move around quite a bit and wear down...

• Self Contained Portable Flat Towing Supplemental Braking System for 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  Actually, the Brake Buddy # HM39524 Select 3 Portable Braking system you'd looked at would be independent of the tow vehicle. It won't need air from the tow vehicle. When installed, it will need a connection from the electrical umbilical to get a trickle charge from the battery of the tow vehicle to keep it topped off, which is typical. This prevents the towed vehicle battery from getting discharged during travel. Other than the remote control unit that you'd have in the cab of the tow...

  After doing some research on your 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4WD with Quadra-Trac II, I did not find any reference to disconnecting the vehicles battery when flat towing. Jeep provides specific procedures that must be followed to flat tow your Jeep on page 455 of your owners manual.
