For your motorhome pulling your 1998 VW Jetta, I recommend the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. This system will work with a 2 or 3 wire system, so it will work well on your Jetta. I've attached a few videos to assist in this installation to make your two wire motorhome lighting function correctly with your 3 wire VW Jetta.
