For your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4XE I recommend the following flat towing components:

Baseplate: Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5. These baseplates have removable arms to keep a clean factory look when not towing.

Tow Bar: etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e74ZR. This tow bar has an adjustable head and shank to help stay level between your motorhome and Wrangler. It also includes safety cables so that you won't have to purchase them separately or worry about them dragging on the ground.

Tow Bar Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. This diode wiring kit offers a simple one-time installation to display your motorhome's turn and brake signals through the tail lights of your Wrangler.

If you have ParkSense proximity sensors then you'll need the Roadmaster Wiring Kit with Smart Diodes for Variable Voltage LED Tail Lights # RM47ZR and Roadmaster 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Kit # RM-146-7.

Braking System: If your motorhome has air brakes then I recommend the Demco Air Force One Supplemental Braking System w/ Wireless Coachlink # DM26VR.

If your motorhome has hydraulic brakes then I recommend the Demco Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System w/ Wireless Coachlink Monitor # DM86VR.

Both of these units come with a wireless monitor that will alert you when the brakes are being applied in your Wrangler and in the event of a breakaway.

I also recommend installing the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-156-25 to keep your Wrangler's battery charged while you tow. If your motorhome doesn't already have a line ran from the battery to the 7-way then you'll also need part # RM-156-75.
