I have the following component recommendations to flat tow your 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland, but you'll still need to reach out to your local dealer for wiring harness information if your vehicle needs MOPAR RV towing wiring harness kit #82216418AA.

Baseplate: Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521440-5.

Tow Bar: etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plates # e74ZR. This tow bar comes with safety cables bracketed to the arms 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 kit will splice into your Jeep's tail light wiring to display the motorhome's traffic signals through the tail lights.

Braking System: The Demco Air Force One Supplemental Braking System # SM99243 is an excellent option for your supplemental braking system as long as your motorhome has air brakes. Since the brake light switch wire in your Cherokee isn't useable you'll need to also install the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751449 in order to get the brake signal for this system's indicator light.

The correct replacement for an Atwood Water Heater GC6AA-9E is the Dometic RV Water Heater part #DMC74FR. This is a 6 gallon water heater that works with both gas and electric just like the one you have so it will be an exact match.
