We tow our 21BHS all over Michigan with our 2017 Grand Cherokee Summit V8.  Without a weight distribution hitch, it gets a little sketchy above 55mph.  With a weight distribution hitch, we can travel on the freeway at 70mph all day without any drama. 

Keep in mind, the only thing we have in the tow vehicle is my wife and 2 small kids.  Throw a couple adults or a bunch of supplies in the back of the Jeep and it'll probably be over payload even though it's under the tow rating.

I don't think I'd want a longer trailer than the 21BHS since the jeep has a short wheelbase...although the tight turning radius makes gas station and McDonalds parking lot maneuvers easy. 

I towed my 2016 21BHS in the rain for the first time today.  Well...it made it a whole 5 miles before the marker, license plate, and running lights stopped working.  The only thing that lights up is the brake lights. 

It's not the tow vehicle.  I hooked up my motorcycle trailer to and everything works on that one.

I'm leaving for a camping trip saturday morning so I don't have time to have the dealer look at it.  I plan on getting out the multimeter tomorrow evening.  Where should I start looking?  Is this a common issue? 

Yikes!

Score! 

I just bought a 2016 Camplite 21BHS.  I looked up on the roof and it's aluminum.  I thought they stopped doing aluminum a few years prior to that when they went to the curve front?  I bought it new from my local dealer and it was definitely new so I believe the date on the title.  Pleasant surprise, but what is going on.  Is this a one off or something?
