Question:
When I install the Hopkins Plug and Play tow vehicle wiringing to my 2017 Jeep Unlimited will I have to have any wiring override so when my supplemental brake engages my turn signals will still work? I have read to many different answers and am now confused....I see the instructions say no back feed but did not want the brake system to override the RV signals. Thanks.

You will be able to install the Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit # HM56200 along with the Roadmaster Even Brake # RM-9400 on your 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and the Jeep's brake signal will not override the turn signal from the RV because the Even Brake system comes with the Brake Light Relay that you'd normally need to install separately.
The only thing you will need with the Even Brake is the 12 Volt Outlet Kit # RM-9332 to give your Wrangler a 12 volt power outlet to run the system.
I've added a link to a video of the outlet kit being installed on a '17 Wrangler for you to take a look at.
