Setting up New Aire for 4 down towing

Do I need to have anything installed on the New Aire to tow my Jeep GC Summit? I was going to have everything installed on the jeep before I go to Newmar for my Factory Pickup. And was hoping I didn't need to have anything installed on the New Aire to tow it home.

What auxiliary braking system are you using? If air powered, an air hose from the RV to the Toad will need to be hooked up. If electric, a brake controller may need to be installed. Also, make sure your umbilical cord between RV and Toad has compatible connections. Will your Toad need a 12v connection between the RV and Toad to keep the battery charged?

You didn't mention what year your Jeep GC is, but I believe the recent models with electric power steering require a jumper wiring harness to prevent the famed, 'death wobble.' You might make sure your GC is ready for towing.
Those are the questions I'd want answered before heading for the factory.
