I think the Jeep is a soccer mom mobile now as well, so wave is fading. It more of a not wave to a JT thing around my town. I could drive past same person in my neighborhood with my JK and they be waving. get in the JT get nothing
I didn't think the camera was standard on geo pro unless you are talking about the Jeep. I thought was backup camera ready but not integrated on geo pro.
congrats on the new camper - Yes for sure - you should not tow without a controller at all. I believe it is illegal in some states and no reason to take a chance with new Jeep and new camper. Spend the few bucks and get a nice controller; backup camera optional. I use a Redarc tow pro elite...

Mine actually broke after a week the left brake light wasnt working - Amazon refunded me...
