Hey Michael,
For your 2014 Jeep Wrangler and Roadmaster Falcon 5250 tow bar I recommend the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521448-5. This fits with your factory bumper and you can remove the crossbar adapter on the tow bar and just switch to their direct-connect style connection.
If you haven't picked out the rest of your flat towing components then I have the following recommendations:
Tow Bar Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. This diode kit will splice into your factory wiring to display your motorhome's traffic signals through the Wrangler tail lights.
Braking System: If your motorhome has hydraulic brakes then you'll want to go with the Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo # SM99251. If your motorhome has air brakes then you'll need the Demco Air Force One # SM99243 instead.
Since the battery will need to be disconnected while you tow I recommend picking up the Roadmaster Battery Disconnect # RM-766 to make this process as simple as pressing a button.
