We've got everything you need to flat tow your 2020 Jeep Wrangler JLU, and I'm going to attach some helpful articles on flat towing that you may want to check out, as well. A complete flat towing setup consists of base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, tow bar wiring, supplemental braking and potentially a high/low adapter.
For base plates I recommend that you go with the Roadmaster # RM-521453-5, which has removable arms that can be taken off when you're not flat towing. These base plates will work with either the steel or the plastic clad bumper. For a tow bar, I recommend the Roadmaster Falcon 2, part # RM-520. The Falcon 2 is self-aligning, which makes hook-up much easier, you don't have to be perfectly centered behind the motorhome to connect everything. For safety cables, use the Roadmaster Coiled Safety Cables # RM-643.
For a wiring kit, go with the # RM-15267 Diode kit, which will help protect your vehicle's electrical components from damage in the event of a backfeed. Once installed, you'll simply connect it to your RV and the plug that installs on the vehicle and you're ready to go.
For supplemental braking, I recommend going with a permanently installed system since this is a new vehicle that you're likely going to have for a while. This also means that there's no need to setup and take down in preparation of each trip, so it's definitely a more convenient option as well. The system I recommend is the Roadmaster Invisibrake, part # RM-8700. A brake switch kit, part # RM-751490 would also be needed.
The final component you may need is a high/low adapter that will help keep your tow bar level during travel. I've linked a helpful article on how to measure to determine whether or not you'll need one, as well as our entire selection of high/low adapters.
Linked to this answer are also some installation and product review videos that you might find helpful, as well.
