Question:
I have a 2017 Thor Freedom Elite 29FE that I want married to a 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited for four on the road towing. I have heard if I purchase all parts from your company I can have them installed for free. Is this true how would I go about getting such a job done?

For your 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, I recommend the Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-521448-5. This base plate system should be installed using Loctite Threadlocker # LT37420.
For your tow bar I recommend the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar w/ LED Lights # RM-676. This has the safety cables, and a wiring connector integrated into the tow bar system. The LED's give you more visibility when towing your Jeep. For a more economical tow bar option, I recommend the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar - Motor Home Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,000 lbs # RM-520 along with the safety cables # RM-645. I recommend the hitch lock # e98882 to secure your tow bar.
You may also want to consider using the Roadmaster Tow Defender Protective Screening # RM-4750 to further protect your Jeep from road debris.
For your braking system, I recommend the SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System - Proportional # SM99251. This system installs easy and only needs to be adjusted at install. It is a very reliable system that becomes a plug and play option for you. With your Jeep, the Brake-Lite Relay Kit # RM-88400 is required to prevent your Jeep's brake signal from overriding the turn signal from the RV when applying the brakes during a turn.
For your light wiring, I recommend the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. This gives you a nice connection on the front of your vehicle and uses your vehicle wiring with diodes to protect your system.
The last thing you need is a high low adapter. I've attached an article to assist you with the measurements you will need to take and linked a page to all your options.
When you buy a complete system from us online, we will install for free. I'll send you specific info in an email.
