Question:
I have a Roadmaster Falcon 2 tow bar. I bought a 2023 Wrangler. What Least visible base plate will work with my tow bar?

You will want to use the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5 on your 2023 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. This base plate will allow you to directly connect to your Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520 without needing a separate adapter or crossbar. The arms on the baseplate are removable so you will not see them when you are not flat towing your Wrangler.
To wire your Jeeps tail lights to function off the motorhome you will need either the Roadmaster Wiring Kit with Smart Diodes for Variable Voltage LED Tail Lights # RM47ZR if your Jeep has the ParkSense proximity sensors or the Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-152 if you do not have these sensors. We also have them available as a Smart Diode Kit # RM38FR or Diode Kit # RM-15267 if you will also need the coiled cord to run from the 7-way on your motorhome. Otherwise you will need a 6-Way Connector # RM-910030-7 to attach on the front of your Jeep to connect your coiled wiring. The 6-way is needed as you will be able to attach a Charge Line # RM-156-25 to your Jeep to prevent the supplemental braking system from draining your battery.
If you are flat towing different vehicles using a braking system like the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR makes it easier to switch from vehicle to vehicle while not having a separate system for each vehicle. I do feel the Demco Stay-IN-Play DUO # DM86VR and Air Force One # DM26VR are superior and easier to use but they are both installed on the vehicle and not easily removed. The Stay-IN-Play is designed to work with motorhomes that use hydraulic brakes while the Air Force One is for motorhomes using air brakes.
