In order to tow a vehicle with your 2014 Winnebago View, you will need 5 specific components. Those items are the tow bar, safety cables, wiring or lighting, base plates for your 2015 Jeep Wrangler and a supplementary braking system. All of these items are explained in detail in the article that I have linked for you.

Some vehicles will require specific preparation steps to make them ready for towing so you will want to check your owner's manual and follow those guidelines precisely to ensure no damage is done to your vehicle. It is also necessary to check to make sure that your motor home has the towing capacity to pull the Jeep.

Since you have mentioned the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain Tow Bar, # RM-522, we can start there. With this tow bar you will need the EZ5 Base Plate Kit, # RM-521448-5.

The Falcon tow bar does have a built-in cable guide to protect wires and safety cables from damage or tangling and will enhance the look of your tow bar. To use this feature you would need the Roadmaster 64 Inch Single Hook, # RM-645, straight cables. If you prefer to use coiled cables instead, part # RM-643 would be the way to go.

Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit, # HM56200, for lighting.

Last but not least is the braking system. One of the easiest systems to set up and use is the SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System, # SM99251. It will apply the vehicle brakes in proportion to how much the tow vehicle is braking and it reduces wear and tear on both vehicles.
