Good news, I can help you get all the items you need to flat tow your 2010 Jeep behind your Motorhome.
First I recommend the Demco Base Plate Kit # DM9519292 for your Jeep, assuming you don't have a modified bumper this will fit perfectly. If you do have a different bumper, I went ahead and linked our fitguide page for your vehicle where you can select the right fit for an aftermarket bumper.
Next you will need to wire your Jeep by using the Roadmaster Univeral Diode Kit # RM-152. This used in combination with the 7-wire to 6-wire Electrical Cord # RM-146-7, will run the power and signals from the motorhome to the towed vehicle.
Another item you will need to tow your Jeep will be a tow bar, this will connect the vehicle to the RV. I recommend Demco's Commander II tow bar # DM9511012. I like this one because it has independent arms to make it easier to hook up and it already comes with the safety cables you will need.
You may need a hi/low adapter in addition to safely tow your vehicle with-in the 3 inch safety zone. To find the right one for you, measure from the ground to the center of the hitch pin hole on your RV. The attachment height for the recommended base plate kit above is 14-1/2 inches.
Lastly you will need a braking system, I like the SMI Stay-IN-Play Duo # SM99251. This system has a one time setup and features an on/off switch for when you are ready to disconnect and explore.
I've linked some of our Help Articles for your convenience.
