We're looking to pull a 2009 Jeep Wrangler (2 door, manual tranny) behind a 2007 Winnebago 29B Outlook. Need suggestions as to best hitch setups/systems....or setups/systems to avoid. Thanks for any input.

FWIW, we had a Road Master system installed on our 09 Wrangler 4 door and are very happy with it.
We re pulling the Jeep with a 05 29' Monach Class C.
Hope this helps.

I pull a 2006 behind a 36 ft Discovery with no problem. I bet if you do a search of Jeep or Wrangler you will find more information that you need.

I use a simple A-frame towbar made by Valley (or maybe Reese, I'm not sure). It only cost $145 when I bought it years ago, and it does the job just fine. A similar one is available from Harbor Freight for under $70.
If you desire something more "convenient" you can spend what to me is a ridiculous amount of money for a fancy telescoping towbar that when all is said and done does exactly the same thing as the less expensive ones.
The choice is yours.
For a braking system the only one I would consider is the Ready Brute or Ready Brake. Simple, easy to install, no heavy actuator unit to carry around, and relatively inexpensive.
Again, your choice.
Good luck.

You can go many ways with this- But one nice thing I have seen is this plug and play wiring kit from cooltech- http://www.cooltechllc.com/jeep/jk_tow_deluxe_kit.shtml
they have a few options= but this makes it very easy.
I tow a 2006 LWB TJ with my 24V Access with out any issues using Roadmaster Brackets and the Evenbrake system- for washington state law requires anything over 3K have supplemental brakes with a breakaway switch. For the towbar I used a falcon 2 I picked up off of craigslist for $250, Wrangler brackets $300 off of ebay, and the evenbrake was $900 new, I forget where.
Hope that helps
