Expert Reply:

That's a big no when it comes to using the Lock N Roll Articulating Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # 336TS528 to flat tow your 1992 Jeep YJ. The Lock N Roll is designed specifically for trailer towing and is not approved by the company for a flat tow situation so we need to use a tow bar system.

For that I recommend the Demco Classic Base Plate Kit # DM9518112 if your Jeep has the standard factory bumper. This works with a standard tow bar like the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e34ZR which connects to the base plates as well as the trailer coupler on your motorhome.

For a complete flat towing setup you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. If you do not have all of these components just let me know and I can make some additional recommendations for you.
