Hello, I'm getting ready to take the plunge in towing a vehicle. I have a Winnebago Winnie 29B, V10 6.8L and plan to tow a 02 Jeep Wrangler Sport. I plan to use a tow bar and priced it out at General RV in Birch Run, MI. The base plate, tow bar, cables, and Brake Buddy came to a whopping $3700 out the door. The brake buddy priced around $1545. The jeep weighs 3450 lbs. and I see in at least some states, (FL) the maximum towed weight without a brake buddy is 3000 lbs. Do most RV'ers run without it? Or is it a must that people swear by? The motorhome has 2 axles so all the braking would be done by the mh. Originally I was thinking about $2000 for the hookup. Thanks.
