We can get your 2023 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited a complete flat tow set up, and I'll go ahead and list out all the parts you'll need for your Jeep.
- Base Plate Kit: Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5
- Tow Bar: Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-676
- Wiring Kit - If Jeep Does NOT Have ParkSense Proximity Sensors: Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-152
or
- Wiring Kit - If Jeep DOES Have ParkSense Proximity Sensors: Roadmaster Wiring Kit with Smart Diodes for Variable Voltage LED Tail Lights # RM47ZR
- Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751490
- Supplemental Braking System: Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # DM86VR
- Towed Vehicle Battery Charge Wire Kit for Demco Supplemental Braking Systems # DM66VR
The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plates are great because they have removable tabs which means your Jeep is going to keep its look when you aren't flat towing it. The Nighthawk tow bar is easily the best tow bar you can get, with an aluminum body which makes it lighter and easier to handle than other tow bars, and a long 52" reach which allows your tow vehicle to track behind your motorhome better than bars with shorter arms.
The Nighthawk even includes both safety cables and an electrical cord so you don't have to buy those separately. The diode wiring kit will prevent any type of electrical feedback to keep your Jeep's electrical system safe, and you'll connect it to the cord that comes with the Nighthawk. Just make sure you get the right kit, depending on if you have the optional ParkSense feature on your Jeep.
As for the braking system, the Stay-IN-Play DUO is easily the best because it gives you braking proportional to that of your motorhome. So when you hit the brakes on your motorhome, your Jeep is going to get the same amount of braking power, resulting in much smoother braking than other systems. The stoplight switch will ensure the monitoring system is always active, and the battery charge line will keep your Jeep's battery charged at all times, even on long journeys. The only other thing I recommend considering is a rock guard to keep your Wrangler safe from debris when you are towing it, the Roadmaster Tow Defender Protective Screening # RM-4750.
