We are planning to tow our 2011 Jeep Wrangler unlimited behind our motorhome.
We used a brake buddy in our other one that had to be plugged into the Jeep cigarette lighter.
Manual says to disconnect the battery.
Anyone have experience towing a 2011?
Thanks, Susan
Howdy Susan and Bob,
We tow a 2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon and , like yours, the manual says to disconnect the battery. We also use a Brake Buddy.
What we do:
I installed a Quick Battery disconnect similar to this:

Ran a separate 12vdc (with fuse) outlet direct from the battery similar to this:

that is used to plug in the Brake Buddy.
Of course we cut off the male end of 12vdc extension and wired direct to the battery.
I like to think the battery disconnect offers some theft deterrent when overniting in a Walmart, rest area, or similar environment.
YMMV, Dave A
