Question:

Hello I have a 2015 Jeep wrangler 2 door. I have a Winnebago Navion V. What parts would I need to flat tow my jeep? Is there a whole package you’d suggest?! If I were to flat tow this, would it add miles to my jeep? It only has like 20,300 miles now.

Hey Tim, welcome back! We've got everything you need! Flat towing your Jeep will not add miles to the odometer.

To flat tow your two door 2015 Jeep Wrangler you will need the following parts:

Tow Bar and Safety Chains - etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar item # e74ZR

Base Plate Kit - Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms item # RM-521448-5 for the factory standard bumper only.

Wiring Harness - Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles item # RM-15267

Supplemental Braking System - Blue Ox Patriot Portable Braking System item # BLU37TR and the 12 Volt Outlet Kit item # RM-9332.

High Low Adapter - The tow bar needs to be within 3" of level. If you measure the height of the inside top of the hitch receiver tube on your RV, and the height difference is more than 3 inches above/below the base plate tab height, you'll need a high/low adapter. I have linked a FAQ article that explains all this in more detail along with our selection of adapters.

What specific model is your 2015 Wrangler and what bumper does it have? There's a few different options for baseplate kits depending on which setup you have.

You can add this information, along with any other questions you have, where it says Add Comment.

Wow that’s big money. Plus installation. Jeep is a 2015 sport, 6 cyl, 6 spd standard. 2 1/2” lift and 35” Is there an option for the baseplate that isn’t as obvious? Like instead of the bar showing, just the 2 prongs showing?

@TimB Yeah flat towing's definitely not an inexpensive venture. No, they're all going to have the bar showing like the Roadmaster item # RM-521448-5. I think our etrailer item # e98949 does a little bit better job hiding it though. You would need our etrailer Tow Bar item # e34ZR if you went this direction.

That baseplate is better. We’ll consider. I’m not sure we’re committed to taking the Jeep along. Our MH is a Winnebago Navion, kind of small enough to get around with.

@TimB Sounds good! Let me know if you have any additional questions.

Bumper is original just like the photo. Also has the factory sport bottom plastic “fairing”? I assume this has to go.

@TimB Awesome thanks! You can modify it. There's sections in both instructions for the Roadmaster item # RM-521448-5 and our etrailer item # e98949 that show you how. I have linked them below.

@JerredH When I mounted my Roadmaster Base plate to my 2016 Jeep Wrangler, I found it a lot easier to reverse the install process for bolting it in. You have to drill a hole in the frame for the top bolt on each side. Instead of doing that first and guessing where the hole goes, I mounted the base plate loosely at the two front mounts and then put in the bottom bolts on the side of the frame. I snugged up ( not totally tight) the front bolts. Then as I snugged up each of the side bolts I was able to put the spacer that goes in between the bracket and frame and there was enough pressure on it to hold it in place. Then I drilled though the bracket and spacer to the frame and my hole was perfectly aligned !! Lastly, torqued it all down !!! Joe
