I do have an option for you but the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118605 is only for towing a trailer with the Jeep and not dinghy towing the Jeep behind a motor home. For dinghy towing the Jeep, I recommend the Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles part # HM56208 which plugs into the vehicle taillights extends to the front of the vehicle to plug into the motor home. This will allow the Jeep's lights to illuminate in sync with the motor homes. I have attached an installation video for your reference.
Please note that Jeep the Mopar Recreational Flat Tow Wiring Kit part 68321424AB on 4x4 Jeeps and Jeeps with the Active Drive II feature to activate the electronic power steering (EPS) system while the vehicle is in tow mode. If this wiring kit is not obtained the Jeep may wobble when flat towed. This part will need to be obtained by the dealership because we do not carry it.
You will also need a base plate, tow bar, safety cables, supplemental braking system and possibly a high low adapter. Please let me know if you need any of these parts so I can make additional recommendations.
