view full answer... - Why Must the Negative Battery Cable Be Disconnected on a Jeep Wrangler to Flat Tow
- Jeep recommends disconnecting the negative battery cable when flat towing to prevent the battery from draining. When you flat tow your Wrangler, the ignition must be left in the ACC position. This would leave certain electronic components on that could drain the battery.
For your situation, I recommend installing the Roadmaster Automatic Battery Disconnect, # RM-766, on the positive battery cable so you don't lose your ground to the chassis. I know the owners manual says negative cable,...
view full answer... - Does Steering have to be Locked out to Flat Tow a Vehicle Behind a Motor Home
- You would not lock out the steering on the vehicle being flat towed. Doing so would cause the wheels to scrub (drag sideways) when turning. The steering needs to be unlocked and the wheels will turn accordingly and straightened back out when needed. It is sort of like pushing a shopping cart with caster wheels: if the cart is pushed to turn, the wheels will turn, and when pushed straight, the wheels will go back to being straight.

- The Dual Hitch Receivers such as part # RM-077-2 cannot be used for towing a trailer. These receivers are meant for use with a towbar carrying a rolling load and an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier.
We offer a Curt Ball Mount with 2 inch Receiver, part # D210, which should work for your needs. This ball mount has a tongue weight capacity of 750 lbs, so the trailers tongue weight and the weight of the bike carrier plus the weight of the bikes cannot exceed that figure.

- Flat towing is the term used when a vehicle is towed with all 4 wheels on the ground behind another vehicle, typically a motor home. It is also knows as dinghy towing or towing 4 down.

- I have a solution for you, but the # RM-077-4 that you referenced is not designed for what you are trying to do so I cannot recommend it for you. Also, there wouldn't be enough clearance to have both a bike rack and a cargo carrier on this product. The bikes would hang too low and would prevent cargo from being able to be carried with the carrier.
Instead I would recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Platform Bike Rack w/ Cargo Carrier # HR1400-85. This is a bike rack/cargo carrier...
