Question:
Hi, I'm looking to get a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, which I want to flat tow behind a motor home that is equipped with Air Force one and blue ox. What all do I need to flat tow this jeep? Also, I also need a hitch and wiring kit as well. Thx!

First you will need the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1128 to connect your 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee to your motorhome. This will fit the Blue Ox Adventurer, Aladdin, Allure, Alpha, Avail, Aventa, and Trion tow bars. If you have a different model tow bar let me know and I will help find an adapter or replacement.
The Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit # HM56207 will plug directly into the taillights on your Jeep. This can connect directly to the motorhome via the 4-way connector that is on the harness or it can be wired into a 6-Pole, Round Pin, Trailer Wiring Socket # RM-910030-7 if you are using a 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Cord # RM-146-7.
The Demco SBS Second Vehicle Kit for Air Force One # SM99209 will give you the parts that you need for the braking system on your Grand Cherokee. This system will tie into the Jeep's battery for power, so I recommend a Battery Charge Line Kit # RM-156-25 to ensure that you do not drain the vehicle battery while towing.
