Towing Jeep Grand Cherokee

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone on this forum have a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee that they tow behind their motorhome? If you do; have you experienced the "Death Wobble" as some internet post indicate? If you did experience the "Death Wobble" what did you do exactly to correct the situation. I just got my motorhome and are about to install Road Master Base Plates, Stay & Play supplemental brake and Road Master Nite Hawk tow bar. Would like to know what else I need to do for the Jeep. Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions.

<Sorry, I should have posted this in the towing forum.>

I flat tow a 2006 Grand Cherokee Overland [with transfer case in neutral] using Roadmaster tow bar and Invisibrake system with absolutely no problems (over 10K miles thus far). I've heard of the "Jeep Wobble", but I have no idea what it is.

From what I've read the Death Wobble is a problem that some folks have experienced when towing Cherokees and not Grand Cherokees. They a completely different suvs.
I tow a 2011 Grand Cherokee and have not experienced any such problems.

I have a 2015 Cherokee and have the wire harness for flat tow to stop the possibility of the death wobble. Never heard a Grand Cherokee having this problem.

Death wobble in Jeeps is usually worn tires or something is worn in the front end components. Have heard about some Cherokees that require some kind of special harness.
