To connect to a Blue Ox Aventa tow bar you would need to use a Blue Ox baseplate like the # BX1126, as long as your 2018 Jeep Wrangler has a factory bumper. If you haven't gotten the rest of your flat towing components then I have the following recommendations for you:

Tow Bar Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. This kit will have everything you need to display your motorhome's traffic signals through the tail lights on your Wrangler.

Braking System: Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System # HM39524. This portable system is super simple to install and operate. It comes with a remote to display when the brakes are being activated in your Wrangler and will allow you adjust your brake settings from the cab of your motorhome. It also includes a charge line kit for your vehicle to help keep the battery charged while you tow.

Safety Cables: If the safety cables you have are in need of replacement or you don't have any at all then I recommend the RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables # RM-643. The coiled design will help keep them up off the ground and prevent damage.
