Question:
Hello, I want to get a complete flat towing kit for my 1998 Jeep Wrangler. I am driving a 2017 class c motorhome on a E450 Ford chassis. I know I need the base plate and the towing system itself, but it would be great if you could provide me a list of what all I need to buy to do this right. It seems Blue Ox is a good system but if you have other suggestions, let me know. Ease of hooking and unhooking is important to me. I need to know also about braking systems, connections for light, etc. Thanks!
