I have the same setup you have. I have a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL. Since the Blue Ox Patriot brake controller is connected to the battery I installed a RVi trickle charger to keep the Jeep battery charged. I pull the Jeep seat forward until it is about 1/2 inches from the brake controller. Great job on your video.
Well that looks easy. Your jeep looks cute, If i were to have a jeep it would have to be red. But easy as it is, way too much work 😂, kinda like house cleaning for xmas... Merry xmas guys! 😘 🎄🥂
Merry Christmas! We agree that the repetitiveness of the hookup and disconnect can seem a little tiresome, but we love the freedom this setup provides.
We have 99% the same tow setup as you. I am no expert but I think you have the brake controller not set-up correctly. According to our instructions, the seat needs to be about half an inch from the brake controller. If not, there is not enough "stroke" in the shaft to depress the brake pedal. I even got the seat stiffener because the seat was to soft and we did not get enough braking from the Jeep. We also have a 2 door Jeep and tow it with our Ekko. Just something to look into.
Thanks for the heads up on the brake controller setup. We’ll check that out. It is so hard to determine just how much braking we are getting from the controller.
@@halffasttravelers2702 You can use the control box inside the rv to test the brakes. Ours are set on max. I think it is 9. Out of the box it is in the middle. Just drive on a flat road and lift off of the gas and dit the button on the controller in the rv. You will feel if the Jeep is braking or not. Even at max, ours is not as powerful as I would like it. That is why I got the seat stiffener. Have not tried it since we got it. We have a 2 door Rubicon too, but it is fully build for off road and will definitely be "overweight".

That is a great idea to keep the Jeep battery charged, thank you for the tip!
