Question:
Greetings. Im new to RVng and we have a 2024 Thor Axis and plan to tow a 2024 Jeep Wrangler Sahara. Were considering purchasing the Roadmaster Nighthawk but not quite sure as to what we need to purchase for using the Jeeps braking/turn signals several options and which braking system would be better/easier to install. Thanks in advance. Christian

Hey Christian, welcome to the world of RV-ing! So in addition to the Roadmaster Nighthawk # RM-676 you're also goin to need:
- A baseplate kit, like the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5. These attach to the Jeep itself so you can hook up the tow bars.
- A braking system, like the Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo Flat Tow Brake System for RVs w/ Hydraulic Brakes # SM99251 with the stop light switch # RM-751490. This braking system is a bit more involved set-up wise, but once it's installed you never have to worry about it again.
&
- A wiring kit, like the Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-15267, diode kits # RM47ZR if you have the ParkSense feature.
Please feel free to drop a comment and let me know if there is anything else I can help you with!

Greetings Bryce; Looked at the Jeep and it seems we don't have Parksense (no button and not in the VIN lookup). We have a new bumper that has the Nighthawk connectors. Thus, it seems we need the flat tow brake (permanent or portable -- still deciding), and the wiring kit. For the wiring kit, the Nighthawk already has the cable for RV to vehicle, is there a wiring kit w/o the cable? Thanks in advance. Christian.
