For your 2022 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon with a steel bumper the cleanest and easiest to use base plate kit that's a fit is the Roadmaster part # RM-521453-5 that you referenced. It has removable arms so when it's not in use it will be mostly out of sight.

In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon All Terain, # RM-522. This has non-binding arms which makes the setup very easy to connect/disconnect.

For lighting/safety cables, locks, and covers for the tow bar we have the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain kit part # RM-9243-1 which comes with all of that as one part number. The diode kit that comes with this allows you to splice into the taillight wiring so that your RV controls the vehicle taillights and does not require drilling into the taillight housings. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front of your towed vehicle and enough coiled wire to go from there to the RV.

Then for a braking kit our installers prefer the Demco SBS DUO part # SM99251 as it's the easiest to install of the permanent install kits, is the most reliable and performs the best.
