Expert Reply:
To flat tow your 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited behind a motorhome, you'll need baseplates, safety cables, a tow bar, a wiring solution, a supplemental braking system and possibly a high/low adapter.
For base plates, I'd recommend # BX1126 for the standard factory bumper (if you have a different bumper, let me know.) For a tow bar, the Blue Ox # BX7380 Alpha 2 would be a good choice, with its 6K capacity. Safety cables are included. For wiring, I prefer the Roadmaster # RM-15267 over anything Blue Ox offers. This kit includes the diodes, wire, connectors and umbilical. It even provides some wire loom.
For a braking system, we really like the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR. You'll also need a 12-volt outlet, part # RM-9332.
For safety, you'll want the tow bar within 3 inches +/- of level. If it's out of that range, you'll want a high/low adapter to make up the difference. l'll link you to the adapters we offer. I'll also link to install videos for the base plate kit and the wiring.
