Expert Reply:

For a base plate for your 2015 Jeep Wrangler to use with our most popular tow bar the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar part # RM-525 that I would recommend you would want the Roadmaster base plate kit part # 1444-1.

The # RM-525 will replace the ball mount that is in the hitch of your RV. It will slide into the hitch and secure with the hitch pin you used for your ball mount like part # C21500.

For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground.

For lighting you can use the bulb and socket kit, # RM-155, and not have to worry about cutting and splicing into the vehicle wiring.

And finally, most states now require supplemental braking in the vehicle being flat towed. The easiest system to set up and use is the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR, that applies the vehicle brakes in proportion to how much the two vehicle is braking. This is the safest way to stop and it reduces wear and tear on both vehicles.

I have included a couple of helpful links to our articles on flat towing for you. Be sure to consult the vehicle owners manual for more specific information on flat towing your vehicle.
