Question:
I have a 2018 Fleetwood Bounder 35K and a 2011 Jeep Wrangler unlimited Sahara 4 door. I’m having trouble figuring out what I need to flat tow my jeep. Also would it be possible for etrailer to do the install? Thank you

To flat tow a 2011 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited you'll need the following components:
Baseplate: Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521448-5. This is a fit for the standard factory bumper, if you have a specialty or aftermarket bumper I'll need to know what it is to find a compatible baseplate.
Tow Bar: etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plates # e74ZR. This tow bar comes with safety cables included so you won't have to purchase them separately. The head and shank also offer a bit of adjustability to help keep the tow bar level between the motorhome and Jeep without having to purchase a high/low adapter.
Tow Bar Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. Splice-in diode wiring is the best way to go. It's a one-time installation and unlike plug-in kits if anything ever went bad you could replace just one small part versus removing the entire wiring harness and reinstalling a new one.
Since your battery has to be disconnected to flat tow I highly recommend installing the Roadmaster Battery Disconnect with Switch # RM-766 to make this process as easy as flipping a switch.
Braking System: Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # SM99251. This braking system is a one-time installation that can be hidden in the engine compartment to take up less cab space than other systems.
For installation you can schedule an appointment with a customer service representative by calling 1-800-940-8924.
