You've definitely got a great list of parts to flat tow your 2021 Jeep Wrangler so I'll go through each one in order.

Baseplate: The etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit # e98948 is a fit and has removable arms to help keep your Wrangler looking factory. You can use part # DM15675 for some covers so that water doesn't get inside and sit in the baseplate.

Braking System: The Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # SM99251 is a great choice as long as your motorhome has hydraulic brakes. If you have air brakes instead then you'll want to go with the Demco Air Force One # DM26VR.

Tow Bar: The etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e34ZR is compatible with the baseplate and comes with a bit of adjustability, that most other tow bars don't have, to keep the tow bar level between the motorhome and vehicle. It also comes with safety cables included so you won't have to purchase them separately.

Tow Bar Wiring: The Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 is my most recommended wiring kit so you're good to go here unless you have ParkSense Proximity Sensors. If you do you'll need a smart diode kit # RM47ZR and a 7-pole adapter cable # RM-146-7.

Your brake light switch wire is unusable so you won't need the Brake-Lite Relay Kit # RM-88400, but you will need the Stop Light switch kit # RM-751490. You'll tie the indicator light red wire from the # SM99251 into this.

The Lock Kit for etrailer Tow Bars - 2inch Hitch - Keyed Alike # e26ZR and Demco Tow Bar Storage Cover - Vinyl # DM9523042 are great accessories to keep your tow bar in good condition and prevent theft.

While it isn't absolutely necessary to install a charge line kit # RM-156-25 I still highly recommend doing so because we have plenty of people not get one and then run into a dead battery issue while they're out. If your motorhome doesn't have the line already ran then you can also use part # RM-156-75.

You won't need the 2 Volt Outlet Kit, 20 amps # RM-9332 or the Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles - 7-Wire to 6-Wire Straight Cord # RM-152-98146-7.

I've attached some videos below to help walk you through the installations if you plan on doing these yourself. If you have anymore questions please let me know.
