I would be happy to recommend everything you will need to flat tow your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Sahara behind your Class C Motorhome.
Starting with the base plate kit I recommend the etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # e98948 as long as you have the factory plastic bumper. This base plate kit pairs up perfectly with the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar - RV Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,000 lbs # e34ZR you were looking at and is a great option due to its 6000lb weight capacity, and the non-binding arms that make unhooking your towed vehicle quick and easy even on un-even ground. The # e34ZR includes safety cables so you will not need to purchase them separately.
For tow bar wiring I recommend the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 which will add a 6-way connector to the front of your Jeep, and the included 7-way to 6-way cord will plug into the 7-way connector of your tow vehicle to power the lights. The included diodes protect your factory wiring from any back feed or damage.
For a supplemental braking system I recommend the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR due to its easy install, and since it gets completely removed from your vehicle when you are done flat towing it can be used in multiple vehicles if needed. You will also need the 12v Outlet Kit # RM-9332.
Lastly you may need a high-low adapter to level your tow bar to your tow vehicle so I have included a link to a helpful article that goes over how to measure for the correct adapter, and a link to all of our high-low adapters for you to take a look at.
It is always a good idea to check the recreational towing section of your vehicles owner's manual for any flat towing restrictions, and for any special steps required to make your vehicle ready to be flat towed.
I included videos for each of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
