I have a little pop up camper I need to tow with my 2016 Jeep Compass but I do not have a trailer hitch or wiring plug. Can you recommend those parts for me? Thanks.

For your 2016 Jeep Compass I recommend Curt trailer hitch # C13081. This is a Class III trailer hitch rated for 400 pounds tongue weight and 4,000 pounds gross trailer weight.

Since you will be doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # EBMK4. It comes with a ball mount with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop, interchangeable ball set, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.

And for trailer wiring I recommend harness # C59496 to add a 4-Way flat connector to the back of the vehicle.
