This is the good thing about this forum, lots of information which helps everyone.

Yeah this is all awesome info! Thank you all! We are going to focus on finding the tow bar and break system components to get the Jeep ready. Hopefully I can find a decent tow bar systems used.

Thanks for the correction. You are quite right. I always put my Jeep transfer case in neutral and my gear shift lever in 2nd gear when towing. I misspoke in my reply above.

I backed up about 6 feet once so I could move to another gas lane. Very slow and careful. Not recommended but it seemed fine.

I could not make a tight turn at a service station one time and was about to unhook my Jeep when a fellow walked up who use to work for an RV dealer and helped me out. He told me to back my RV while he stood outside the Jeep and reached through the window and turned the Jeep steering wheel as I backed up. It worked, but I would not try it by myself or without having someone to turn the Jeep steering wheel to assist.
