At a minimum, you will need the tow bar, the base plates to attach the tow bar to your Land Rover and the wiring.

The Falcon 2 , part RM-520 would be a good choice. You will need base plates to provide an attachment point for the tow bar. The base plates for your Land Rover are part # 1910-1.

You will also need to wire the Land Rover to the RV so that the tail lights work in tandem with the RV. There are 3 options for wiring the vehicle. You can go with a magnetic mounted light like part # RM-2120. These lights are extremely easy to install and remove, and the wiring stays completely independent of the wiring on the vehicle being towed.

Another option would be the Roadmaster Tail Light Wiring Kit with Bulbs, part # RM-155. This system uses bulbs that mount inside the tail light assemblies of the vehicle. This system is still pretty easy to install, and the wiring still remains independent of the tow vehicle.

Using the Hopkins Tail Light Isolating Diode System, part # 38955 is a more permanent option. This system taps directly into the tail light circuits of the towed vehicle. I will provide a link below to an installation video that will walk you through the install process. The product description page for the Diode System also features a wiring diagram that illustrates how the system is installed.

We also offer auxiliary braking systems which might be required depending on the particular state in which you will be towing the vehicle.

I will provide links below to the products I have mentioned as well as the installation video I referenced above.
