Parts Recommendations For Towing 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Behind a Motorhome
Question:
What parts are needed to dinghy tow my 2020 Wrangler Unlimited behind my motorhome? I have a Roadmaster Falcon 522 tow bar from a previous vehicle, but what else would I need?

In addition to your Falcon # RM-522 All Terrain tow bar, you'll need base plates, safety cables, a wiring harness, a supplemental braking system and possibly a high/low adapter.
For a base plate, use the Roadmaster Direct Connect Base Plate, part # RM-521453-5 and the # RM-643 safety cables. For wiring, the popular choice is # RM-15267. For a braking system, some prefer a drop in system like the # RM-9400 Even Brake, but unless you swap vehicles every year or two you'll probably be happier with the # RM-8700 InvisiBrake, as it's permanently installed and won't require any fiddling before each trip. A # RM-751490 stop light switch is also needed. Finally, if the height of the motorhome receiver and the base plates on the Jeep have more than a 3 inch height difference, you'll need a high/low adapter to put the height within 3 inches. I'll link to our selection of high/low adapters.
I've also linked to some installation videos that you might find helpful.
