Yes, the etrailer # e74ZR Non-Binding Tow Bar would be a excellent choice for your Jeep and it comes with safety cables. To connect them you will need to install the Roadmaster # RM-521440-5 Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit with quick installing arms. (Cannot be used on SRT-8 or TrackHawk models. Brushguards and Tow hooks, if present, must be removed.)

For Flat Tow wiring use the Roadmaster # RM-152-98146-7 Universal wiring kit which includes everything you need to connect your RV's tail, brake, and turn signal lights to your towed car. Diodes prevent feedback and wire your car to operate as a combined system. Includes a 7-way to 6-way straight adapter cord. When you do finally get ready to plug your electrical cables in, I would put a little Edelmann # 11755 dielectric grease on those connections. The dielectric grease will keep help keep moisture and corrosion out of your connections.

You may need a high/low hitch adapter. I have attached an article on measuring for an adapter, and a link including all of our adapters.

You will also want a supplemental braking system that improves braking and handling, and extends the life of your coaches braking system. Most states will require them for flat towing. If your coach has traditional hydraulic brakes then I recommend the Brake Buddy # HM39524 portable system that has proportional braking and a wireless display for your cab so you can see your braking system status. If your coach has air brakes, you will instead need the Demco # DM26VR supplemental braking system for air brakes. I have attached an article below about supplemental braking systems.
