Etrailer Blue Ox Patriot Portable Flat Tow Brake System

In this video, I walk through everything I installed to set up our 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee (WK) for flat towing behind our motorhome — including the Blue Ox baseplate, the Blue Ox Patriot breakaway system, and a harness-style tail light wiring kit. I'll share the tips and surprises I ran into along the way, including why etrailer.com was the resource that made this a DIY project instead of a $3,000 shop bill.

It's a 2.7 kWh unit that's designed to scale up over time by adding external batteries, so you're not locked into a big system on day one.
