A great option of a rack that fits 2 60-pound e-bikes, clears your spare tire on your 2018 Jeep Wrangler, and is also compatible on your motorhome is the Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # S94FR.

The Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit # RM-521448-5 will work well with the Knighthawk tow bar # RM-676 which comes with the safety cables and wiring connector. The Roadmaster Tow Bar Cover # RM-055-3 is a confirmed fit.
For the rest of your wiring, I recommend the Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # HM56200 and then cut and hardwire the 4 way into the 6-way connector # A10-6034VP using heat shrink butt connectors # DW05743-5. You will need to attach the ring terminal... view full answer...
Yes, the Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit # RM-521448-5, which is confirmed to fit your 2018 Jeep JK Wrangler if you have the standard factory bumper (no winches or guards), will work perfectly with the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520 that you referenced. This tow bar features a self-aligning design that will ease hookup and extra-long telescoping arms to allow for better maneuverability and smoother towing.

I do have a solution for you, however the Hopkins Heavy-Duty Trailer Coiled Wire Adapter # HM47065 won't work to connect the 4-Way flat on your Jeep to the 7-Way on your new camper. This is because the 4-Way on your Jeep will be the female end of the connector, which is identical to the 4-Way on this adapter. The male end will be on the trailer side. This just means the adapter won't physically plug into your setup because they are matching, instead of corresponding/compatible, plugs.

RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables - 6,000 lbs # RM-643

The CIPA custom mirrors, part # CM11551, are made specifically for Ford F-150s from 2015 to 2019. They aren't going to fit your 2018 JK.
We don't carry any custom mirrors for your Jeep but the K-Source universal mirrors, part # KS3990, are a likely fit. Make sure your stock mirrors are 4-1/2 to 11-1/2 inches tall. I like the K-Source mirrors because of the dual glass so you get a wider viewing area. view full answer...

You can indeed install electric brakes on the food trailer you are looking to purchase but you will need to upgrade to larger tires and wheels as well. The additional components you will need will just depend on what the trailer is already equipped with.
The reason the existing 10 inch wheels on the trailer won't work is because they won't fit over a 3,500 pound hub-and-drum assembly. This likely isn't an issue with the idler hubs that the trailer is currently equipped with but you will... view full answer...
It is very normal for the 12V charge line on a vehicle to provide only the voltage that is being provided by the alternator that is not being used by the vehicle itself. The 3.5 volts is not normal but just 3.5 amps would be normal when the vehicle is running.
If you want the full 12V power, then you will need to run the # RM-156-75 which will give you 12 gauge wire and allow you to transfer 15 amps to avoid overcharging your Jeep battery. view full answer...
In order to install a 7-way trailer connector on a 2018 Jeep JK Wrangler with factory tow package you can use the 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket part # HM40975-11933 which is plug-n-play. This connector plugs into a factory port under the rear bumper and will replace the 4-way you have now. It has the battery charge line circuit you will need for your trailer. If the trailer also has brakes as well then you'll need a brake controller for which I recommend the Curt Echo Wireless... view full answer...
I know exactly what you need in order to haul your electric fat tire bike on your Winnebago motorhome and on the back of your 2018 Jeep Wrangler. You will need a bike rack that is compatible with motorhomes AND flat-towing. There are not any 1-bike carriers that will meet your needs so you will need to go with a 2-bike carrier.
I recommend looking into the Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches # S94FR. This bike rack has a weight capacity of 70lbs and can hold up... view full answer...
