Question:

I have a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk V8 with adaptive cruise that I will pull with a 2021 Foretravel Realm that has Spartan Safe Haul, and trying to put a parts list together... Id like to use the Blue Ox Avail BX7420 and I believe the correct base plate kit is Blue Ox BX1128. Also, Blue Ox Accessory Kit BX88308 should have everything needed in terms of connection of lighting and charging, etc. Correct? I assume the Spartan Safe Haul will have everything form the coach side, so I will need the Second Vehicle Kit for Air Force One SM99209, and the jumper hose SM6296. Correct? Am I missing anything? Any advice, suggestions? Thanks...

Expert Reply:

Yep, you are on the money with exactly what you need for the Blue Ox base plates as well as the tow bar you are wanting and accompanying wiring kit.

The Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1128 will indeed fit your 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and is compatible with the Blue Ox Avail Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX7420. For the accompanying accessory kit for the Avail that does include the wiring, you are correct you will also need the Blue Ox Towing Accessories Kit for Ascent and Avail Tow Bars - 7-Wire to 6-Wire # BX88308.

Then assuming you do have the RV portion of the Air Force One braking system in your motorhome, for your Jeep you will need the Demco SBS Second Vehicle Kit for Air Force One Supplemental Braking System # SM99209. And since your motorhome is a '21 with a Spartan chassis, the Demco SBS Air Force One Coiled Air Jumper Kit for 2019 to Present Spartan Chassis # SM6296 is the correct part.
