Recommended Flat Towing Parts for a 2016 Jeep Wrangler
Question:
I have a list of all parts I need to flat tow 2016 Jeep Wrangler using Roadmaster products but do I need to get any parts for the RV that will be towing it? Its a 2018 Winnebago Vista. I didnt see any info on how to connect the wiring to the RV itself.

You shouldn't need to add anything to your RV. It looks like the 2018 Winnebago Vista came with a 2" hitch rated for 5,000 lbs and a 7-way connector. The 7-Way connector is what you will plug the wiring coming from your Jeep into. Your Winnebago has hydraulic brakes so you won't need to mess with air lines.
I am not sure what list you are going off of but here's another one with the Roadmaster parts I recommend using to flat tow your 2016 Jeep Wrangler:
Tow Bar and Safety Chains - Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar item # RM-520 and item # RM-643
Base Plate Kit - Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms item # RM-521448-5 for Standard factory bumper or item # 1444-3 if you have the 75th Anniversary, Backcountry, or Rubicon Hard Rock Edition or item # RM42FR if you have the Warn Elite Bumper
Wiring Harness - Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit item # RM-15267
Supplemental Braking System - Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System item # RM-8700
High Low Adapter - The tow bar needs to be within 3" of level. If you measure the height of the inside top of the hitch receiver tube on your RV, and the height difference is more than 3 inches above/below the base plate tab height, you'll need a high/low adapter. I have linked a FAQ article that explains all this in more detail along with our selection of adapters.
