First Time pulling the Jeep

My wife, one of the Dogs and myself went camping and 4 wheeling this weekend. With all the camping stuff (I bring most of the house to the great out doors) and the jeep on a trailer the truck did great. South of Chicago they have had the road torn up for years and the traffic is crazy. People must know how good the integrated brake controller works because they would not think twice about cutting me off and slamming on the brakes! On the way down traffic was bad (1.5 hours stop and go) and we got 8.2 Avg MPG on the way back it 9.3 AVG MPG. That was going 65-70.
