I'm not entirely sure what kit you're referring to. The price for all of the products like the # RM-676 you were looking at can be found on the product page in the upper right under the product name.

If you're talking about the parts from the 2014-2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee flat towing article there are quite a few options to choose from there. You will need a tow bar, base plate kit, tow bar wiring, and supplemental braking system.

The Roadmaster Nighthawk # RM-676 comes with safety cables and a 6-way plug already. Adding the # RM-9284-2 would give you the diode kit for the rest of the wiring along with a storage cover and locks to keep everything secure.

Based on your last question I don't think you need a tow bar since you said you had a Roadmaster Falcon 5250 unless you want to replace it. If that is the case I recommend the following to complete your setup:

-Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-521440-5

-RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables - 6,000 lbs # RM-643

-Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267

-Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo Flat Tow Brake System for RVs w/ Hydraulic Brakes # SM99251

OR

-Demco Air Force One Flat Tow Brake System for RVs w/ Air Brakes # SM99243

You do need the brake system. This prevents wear and tear on your vehicle as well as your motorhome. It also shortens the braking distance. Last but not least, it is required by law in most states. You can choose one of the braking systems above based on whether you have hydraulic or air brakes.

In addition to these parts you will likely need a high-low adapter. I have attached a help article below which explains how to measure to find the right one for your setup. It also includes a link to all of our available adapters.
