Hey Trevor,

To flat tow your 2025 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon you'll need the following components:

Baseplate: Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5. This is a fit for a factory plastic or steel bumper, if you have an aftermarket bumper we'll need to check fitment.

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 and a built in drop/rise to help keep it level between your motorhome and Wrangler.

Tow Bar Wiring: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. This will transfer your motorhome's traffic signals to the tail lights of your Wrangler. If you have ParkSense proximity sensors then you'll need to go with the # RM63MR instead.

Braking System: If your motorhome has hydraulic brakes then you'll want the Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo # SM99251. This system has an indicator light that'll need to tap into the brake light switch of your Wrangler. Since that wire isn't useable you'll need to install a stop light switch kit # RM-751490 and connect its output to the indicator light for the braking signal.

If your motorhome has air brakes then you'll need the Demco Air Force One # SM99243 instead. This uses a reed switch for the brake signal so it would not require a stop light switch kit like the Stay-IN-Play does.

It's not required but I do highly recommend also installing a charge line kit # RM-156-25 to keep the Wrangler's battery charged as you tow so that you don't get to your destination and have to deal with a low/dead battery. If your motorhome doesn't have a charge line ran to the 7-way then you can also pick up the # RM-156-75 as well.
