The 2023 online build tool shows an RV Tow Harness as an option. No info or photos. I wonder if it comes with a 6 pole bumper mounted connector and if it works with LED lights. I'm referring to the feedback problem that Cooltech has a solution for so your battery does not go dead. I thought I might find somethin in a 23 owners manual but could not find it online.

Likes like setup with a custom harness and on the tower vehicle side and 7 wire adapter to go from tow vehicle to towed vehicle.

I'm trying to order a 23 but they told me it's not available. :(

Is this a guess or did you find something you can share?

So you don't know where or how the front end of it will terminate with the factory option?

So you plug the cable from the motor home into a connection point under the hood? Not very convenient.

Look at the pictures, instructions and such, you can see how it is terminated.

Its a separate cable, but unique on the toad end. That kind of worries me.

The installation instructions would not open. I am just going by the pictures.

The connection for mine is located under the bumper and runs from the power connection at your towing receiver on your motor home and is in line with the base plate and connections to the towing apparatus and break-away tether on the Jeep. Pretty convenient when hooking up to tow.

A pic would be awesome for sure. I have been trying to wrap my mind around this custom plug on the car end.

My wife's out with the Cherokee now, but I found a picture of the front - Remember, I currently have a Cherokee, not a Wrangler, but I suspect it'll be the same sort of setup. In the center below the license plate are the electric connection and break-away control.
Also, the ends of the power tether cable from the 7-pin on the motor home to the TOAD.


Does that help?
