In order to flat tow your new 2020 Jeep Wrangler behind your RV you will need a base plate kit, a tow bar, safety cables, a lighting solution, and a supplemental braking system. I will list out my specific recommendations below and go into a bit more detail on each of the components thereafter.

Base Plate Kit - Roadmaster Direct-Connect # RM-521453-5
Tow Bar - Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain # RM-676 (safety cables are included)
Lighting Solution - Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-152
Supplemental Braking System - Brake Buddy Classic 3 # HM39494

The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5 is custom designed for your Jeep Wrangler and it features a hidden bracket design that maintains a clean look on the vehicle when it's not being towed. Its drawbars will also attach directly to the tow bar arms without the need for an additional, obtrusive crossbar.

The Nighthawk Tow Bar will work perfectly with these Direct-Connect drawbars and it provides you with integrated LED lights to illuminate with the RV lights, a non-binding design that lets you release the Jeep at any time (even on unlevel ground), and a robust 8,000 pound weight capacity. It also includes a coiled 6-Way to 7-Way harness that can easily be used with the Hy-Power Diode Kit # RM-152 so that the Jeep's lights work in correspondence with the RV's.

Lastly I really like the Brake Buddy Braking System # HM39494 that will physically press down on the Jeep's brakes with deceleration and is easily portable to different vehicles if ever needed.

I have attached video demonstrations and installation instructions for the parts mentioned that you can also check out.
