I'd be happy to make some suggestions for you.
To safely flat tow your Wrangler Unlimited, you'll need a tow bar, base plates, safety cables, a wiring solution to synch the Jeep taillights with those on the motorhome, a supplemental braking system and possibly a high/low adapter if the installed base plate height and the height of the hitch on the motorhome have a height difference of more than 3 inches.
For a tow bar, I'd recommend the Roadmaster Falcon All-Terrain tow bar, part # RM-522. For base plates, use # RM-521453-5. To wire your Jeep, I'd recommend # RM-15267 or # RM47ZR for Jeep models equipped with the ParkSense active parking assist system. For safety cables, use # RM-643.
For a supplemental braking system, I'd recommend the Demco Air Force One # SM99243 for motorhomes with air brakes or the Demco # SM99251 Stay In Play Duo for motorhomes with hydraulic brakes.
If the installed height of the base plates has a height difference compared to the receiver hitch on the motorhome that's greater than 3 inches, you'll want to use a high/low adapter. I'll link to an article that shows how to measure to determine which adapter you need, as well as to our selection of adapters.
