To tow your 2016 Jeep Wrangler, there a few components that you need. They are a base plate, a tow bar, safety cables, a braking system, a 12V outlet for the braking system, and wiring for the lights..

For the base plate for a standard factory bumper, I recommend the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit, part # RM-521448-4. This base plate is compatible with all Roadmaster tow bars and feature removable arms to keep a nice clean look. I've linked to a video installation of this base plate.

For your tow bar, we have two great options depending on whether you are connecting to your motorhome via hitch or a ball mount. If you are connecting to a hitch, I recommend the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar, part # RM-522. If your are mounting on a ball mount, I recommend the Roadmaster StowMaster Tow Bar, part # RM-501. Both of these can pull up to 6000 pounds and feature extra-long telescoping arms for better maneuverability. I've linked to video reviews of both.

For the safety cables, I recommend the Roadmaster 68" Single Hook, part # RM-643, as they work very well with the tow bars above. I've linked to a video review of these cables as well.

For your braking system, the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR, is the way to go. It's one of our best and most highly-rated systems. I've linked to a video review of this system, too.

To get the braking system to work for your Wrangler, you will need the 12V Outlet Kit from Roadmaster, part # RM-9332. I've linked to a video installation of this kit on your vehicle.

Finally, to power the lights of your vehicle, you need a wiring kit. The Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit, part # RM-154, is a good choice. I've linked to a video installation of this as well.
