For your 1995 Jeep YJ, the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118356 is what you will want to tow a trailer. This harness installs to the factory connections found beneath the rear of your vehicle on both the driver's and passenger's side. You will find the harness behind protective covers near the rear bumper. Then you can use the mounting bracket # 18144 to hold the harness in place.

The Roadmaster # RM-155 does not connect to your vehicle wiring at all, this kit simply carries the signal from the motorhome to the light bulbs you install. I don't recommend towing a trailer behind a vehicle being flat towed but it is legal in some states. To do that, you would splice into the Roadmaster # RM-155 using # C58044. This is simple splicing but remember your tow bar and motorhome hitch need to be rated for the entire towing weight. You also won't have any braking power to the trailer behind your towed vehicle unless the trailer has a surge brake coupler.
