• What Do I Need to Flat Tow a 2023 Jeep Gladiator
  hey, Chuck! Happy to help out here! Since you already have a Blue Ox tow bar I'd stick with getting another Blue Ox base plate, part # BLU53FR. This works if you have a factory plastic bumper, Mojave, Rubicon with factory plastic or steel bumper. If your Gladiator is equipped with D-rings that are flat tow rated you can use part # BX88358 for 1" D-rings or part # BX88357 for 7/8" D-rings. It sounds like you also want all the other parts so I'll list the rest of the parts below for ya....

• Flat Tow Setup for 2025 Entegra Coach Vision XL 36C Towing 2024 Jeep Gladiator
  Hey Alan! It looks like you already ordered the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5, which is compatible with the factory plastic and steel bumper. This will work with your existing Roadmaster Nighthawk # RM-676. The wiring kit # RM-15267 you ordered will handle the Gladiator's lights as long as you don't have a model with ParkSense. However, that 7-way to 6-way cable lacks the wiring to illuminate the LED lights on the Nighthawk. If you have the original Flexo-Coil...

• Base Plate RM67VR VS RM77VR Comparison And Compatibility With RM-422 Tow Bar
  Both Item # RM77VR and Item # RM67VR are the same cross-bar style base plate but with different connection arms so installation will be the exact same for both. Since you're using the Roadmaster BlackHawk 2 All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 10K Item # RM-422 both base plates will work with this tow bar but the RM67VR will be slightly less time to connect because the # RM-422 comes with the same connection plates already installed.

• Troubleshooting A Flashing Roadmaster InvisiBrake Braking Signal Indicator
  If the red indicator light is coming on for your Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System # RM-8700 either something is causing your brakes to be applied or most likely the brake switch you have installed has a loose connection which is causing it to send the signal to your indicator light. If you haven't installed the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751497 already that could also be your issue. This stop light switch kit will allows your RV's monitoring system to alert...

• What Is Needed To Connect A Demco Stay-In-Play To A Motorhome's 4-Pole Connector
  The Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # SM99251 has a G-force controller that's only going to wire into the lighting signals that are already included in your 4-pole so you could get a diode wiring kit like # RM-154 (as long as you don't have ParkSense Proximity Sensors) and still use the 4-pole connector but you'd be much better off upgrading from the 4-pole to a 7-pole connector so that you can also run a charge line for your Gladiator.

• Flat Towing Procedures and Setup for 2020 Jeep Gladiator
  On the Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Truck models the steering wheel does not actually lock with the ignition in the off position, it just has a loss of power steering-which is likely what you're experiencing. Jeep removed the steering wheel lock from their models in 2008, I believe, so even without a key in the ignition you'll be able to turn the wheels; it's just going to be really difficult. With that being said, in order to flat tow you'll need to have the transfer case set to N (neutral)....
