First thing you'll need is a base plate kit to flat to your 2014 Jeep Wrangler, which for that I recommend the Roadmaster # RM-521448-5 as is one of the easiest to use options and also is mostly hidden when not in use. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.

In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon All Terain, # RM-522. This has non-binding arms which makes the setup very easy to connect/disconnect.

For lighting/safety cables, locks, and covers for the tow bar we have the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain kit part # RM-9243-1 which comes with all of that as one part number. The diode kit that comes with this allows you to splice into the taillight wiring so that your RV controls the vehicle taillights and does not require drilling into the taillight housings. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front of your towed vehicle and enough coiled wire to go from there to the RV.

And finally, most states now require supplemental braking in the vehicle being flat towed. Since your tow vehicle has air brakes the best solution is the Air Force One part # SM99243 which was designed for motorhomes like yours with air brakes and will proportionately activate your towed vehicle brakes.
