I have a 2012 spree 261rks and it looks as though the bumper has been modified to tow just wondering if anyone has towed a jeep wrangler behind one before and suggestions. Don’t know how to add photos

Hi. I can't see your setup - but this sounds like a really bad idea even if the bumper was modified. Usually even the modified bumpers can't handle more than a few hundred pounds (bike racks and stuff like that). I think the towing forces would tear the frame of the camper apart.
*disclaimer - I'm not an expert, and I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night!
I would talk to an expert hitch and trailer place - not an RV dealer, but a real commercial hitch and trailer place - to get an expert opinion on your setup.

I echo Johnr's thoughts. Except you need to talk to an engineer, as the loads are far beyond what a hitch or trailer place can really understand.
Also, you should be aware you would be pulling what is considered doubles, and some states do not allow that or require the front trailer to be a 5th wheel

That trailer has an extremely weak frame with the main "I-beams" made from three pieces of stock welded together. I would hesitate to put a second coat of paint on the cheesy thing.
