I have a similar setup - 2014 Hurricane (32) and 2010 Jeep Wrangler... Using the Falcon All Terrain towbar, Invisibrake wired in Jeep, and Mopar OEM Wiring harness to run the toad taillights from MH...

3000+ miles towing so far - I do notice the extra weight on acceleration and hills (definitely downshifts more).. Don't notice at all on stopping - the Invisibrake seems to handle the Jeep portion very well.

I'd add some thoughts for towing:
Use the tow/haul mode on the MH especially if in hilly area... Adjusts shift points - but also downshifts on deceleration to use engine braking for the pair.

Don't forget that towed miles count toward wear on toad's brakes and tires.. I tow with Jeep battery (positive) disconnected - Invisibrake wired to battery and MH charging toad battery (via OEM harness) - no miles rack up on Jeep - but do need to watch the wear.

I added a Tire Minder for the last 1000 miles - for both the MH and toad (10 wheels). Nice to know if something goes wrong on toad when you can't always see it behind you (yes - I normally keep the rear cam on - but then there is the Jensen 'blank screen' problem I am wrestling with... ) plus the protection for MH as well. Except for a road hazzard - there should be a pressure and/or temp change before a blowout.

Hope it helps...
