I can absolutely help you with this. To flat tow your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with factory bumper you will need at least 5 parts (Base plate kit, tow bar, tow bar wiring, supplemental braking and safety chains). I have included a recommendation for each part below, along with a brief description of their purpose.
Base Plate Kit: this is custom fit for your vehicle and is what the tow bar coming from your motor home will attach to. I recommend the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5. This base plate kit is made in the USA, has a limited lifetime warranty and will allow you to use a direct connect tow bar which is easier to use than the cross bar style.
Tow Bar: This is what will attach to the motor home and then connect to the base plate kit to tow your Wrangler. I recommend the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-676. This tow bar is made in the USA, has a limited lifetime warranty and is compatible with the base plate kit recommended above. This tow bar also has included safety chains which means you will not need to get them separately.
Tow Bar Wiring: This allows you to use your Jeep Wrangler Unlimited's tail lights and wiring system while preventing feedback from your RV. I recommend the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. This kit is made in the USA and has a limited lifetime warranty.
Supplemental Braking System: This is going to be what allows you to travel with and safely stop your Wrangler. I recommend the Demco Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # DM86VR which is made in the USA. This will give you automatic, proportional braking with a system that never has to be removed, replaced, or reset.
You may also need additional parts like a high-low adapter. I have included a help article that goes over how to determine if a high-low adapter is needed and if so, which one. I have also linked our selection of high-low adapters so that you can select the correct one if it is determined you need one.
Lastly, you will always want to consult the owners manual for your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited to be sure you are following all of the manufacturers directions for flat towing your Wrangler.
