The tow bar I recommend is the Roadmaster Falcon 2 # RM-520. It's one of our most popular tow bars and you can't go wrong with it. It self aligns as you drive forward in your RV. It's also compatible with all Roadmaster base plate kits.
The base plate kit I suggest is the Roadmaster EZ4 # RM-521440-4. It's designed specifically for your 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. The arms are removable so they're not as noticeable as other kits can be.
To power the Jeep's lights I suggest the diode kit # RM-15267. This will use the vehicle's tail lights by connecting to the RV's and includes the cord to go between the two. To keep the Jeep's brake lights from overriding the RV's you'll need a Brake-Lite Relay # RM-88400.
For a supplemental braking system the SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO # SM99251 is a favorite around here because of how reliable it is and it's easier to install than many other permanently installed systems. Your Jeep's brake lights do not illuminate when the ignition is off which means you'll also need a Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751449. This will activate the RV's brake-monitoring system when the Jeep's brake pedal is activated.
Finally, you'll likely need a high-low adapter. I've attached an article to help you determine the correct rise or drop your setup requires. I've also linked our selection of adapters for you to look at once you know what you need.
In addition to my recommendations I've linked some articles on flat towing that you may find helpful.
