I'd highly recommend a supplemental braking system, and here's why. You'll be pulling 3500-4000 lbs of dead weight behind a motorhome. If you're going around a turn on slick pavement, during braking the towed vehicle can actually push…

Technically Hopkins wiring harness #HM56200 is a 4-diode system but it uses a converter box instead of separate diodes. So if you are looking at supplemental braking systems you are going to need to use the brake light relay #RM-88400 to prevent the…

If only the running lights are having an issue on the trailer I recommend first checking the trailer connector on the back of your Wrangler to see if the issue is with the Jeep and the diode kit #RM-15267 you installed. You can turn on the running…

The Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay #88400 that you referenced actually isn't needed for your 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with the push button start. In order to ensure proper operation of the signal lights and braking system you instead need the…

Hello Derek, thanks for reaching out. It could be an issue with the module on the #BX88285 EZ Light Wiring Harness. It is rare but not unheard of for the modules to go bad. What you do is take a wire tester and check the input and output wires on the…

Answer 10

Both the Roadmaster and Blue Ox tow bars are great options. But if it was my decision to make I would go with the Blue Ox Avail part #BX7420 as we have found that the Blue Ox tow bars are a little easier to connect and disconnect from. Also this tow…

Answer 11

Whether or not you can flat tow with a Jeep bumper is really up to the manufacturers testing; some of the big names like MetalCloak or Poison Spyder have bumpers with D-ring attachments that can be used for flat towing connections. This is great…

Answer 12

I checked with AEV and found that you can use the D-ring mounts on that bumper to flat tow the Jeep. If the D-ring mounts are 3/4 inches thick with 7/8 inch or 1 inch diameter holes you can use #RM-035 with a Roadmaster tow bar. If the D-ring mounts…
