It was a Proctologist and he installed it by going up the muffler. Friends had their 2015 Wrangler set up by a local reputable RV dealer (not CW) and the install for everything including a portable braking system was $4,600. I just did my 2020 Equinox Premier with a Demco baseplate, Roadmaster Nighthawk tow bar, Demco Stay-IN-Play permanent braking system, RVi Towed Charger, LED tail light diode wiring kit, tow bar cover, two locking hitch pins, a 4" dual drop hitch, two tow bar pin padlocks, wire loom to contain all of the wiring and spent about $3,700 on parts out the door, almost all with Etrailer. Shipping was free but the state sales tax was not. Ray Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildebill308 Report post Posted August 2, 2020 You can save some money by looking for used equipment. I found a Blue Ox tow bar and a Brake Buddy for under $500.00. I spent $35.00 to have the towbar rebuilt and certified by Blue Ox at a rally before I had anything to tow 4 down. I also saved some money by negotiating the base plate and wiring on the toad when I bought my 2014 CR-V. So my CR-V came from the dealer ready to hook up and go.

Gezzer Report post Posted June 10, 2021 $5400 wow. I took my 2015 Ram eco Diesel to a local independent muffler installer, he installed the kit on the truck, the proportional air brake lines, break a way, for $300 i then went to a local shop that specializes in automotive electrical, and had him install the diodes for the brake lights for $150 i was present during both these installations and I wasn’t that complicated. My experience with Camping World is love and hate. try contacting a mobile rv repair company don't pay Camping World. look for used tow bars on Craig’s list. I bought my 10,000# road master tow system that way, purchased the kit for the truck from e trailer, they are great, and they have great Ytubes on installment of everything they sell.

RVwriter Report post Posted October 15, 2021 (edited) I just spent over $3,000 for the hardware to tow our Wrangler and I probably will end up with spending a few hundred more before I'm done. Roadmaster hitch, RVi brake controller, Blue Ox wiring kit...no baseplate as the Jeep has a towable bumper, but needed adapters to attach to the d-ring mounts. Doing all work myself.

manholt Report post Posted October 15, 2021 Cost me $119 for 2 adapters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildebill308 Report post Posted October 16, 2021 Welcome to the forum RVwriter. I don't remember what my total cost was because I bought the tow bar and brake buddy used and negotiated the installation of the baseplate and wiring when I bought the CR-V. So RVwriter, do you wright? Also just a tip. If you add your rig and outher info to your signature it will help to get better/faster answers. See manholt's above.
