Hi,
New to the forum and recently bought an 09 Unlimited Wrangler and I want to flat-tow it behind my Lance camper.  The truck's hitch is ready so now it is the jeep's turn.  Where should I start and which towbars should I look at?  Any help would be appreciated.

Talk to your local RV outlet. They'll have all sorts of tow bars and brake systems to choose from. Be prepaired for the bottom line. It aint going to be a couple hundred dollars. I had a Brake-Buddy system that I just sold. Expensive, but worked great.

As far as flat towing your JK, just leave it in gear or park, the t-case in neutral, and the ignition key in the unlock position.

The jeep is an auto.  There is a Camping World close so I'll give then a call.  So is sound like I'll need a braking system and the tow bar.. what else?
