For your 2015 Jeep Wrangler Sport, since you already have your Roadmaster StowMaster Tow Bar, # RM-501, we will start with your base plate needs. The # 1175-1 Roadmaster base plates you have are not compatible with your Jeep, so I recommend going with the Roadmaster EZ4 Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms, # RM-521448-4, which is compatible with your Jeep and your current tow bar.

For your Jeep tow wiring, I recommend the Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles, # HM56200. This is an easy installation that will give you the 4-way flat connection at the front of your Jeep. There is no cutting, splicing, or crimping required with this custom plug-in harness. For your vehicle a brake light relay like the Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-88400 is required.

To connect your vehicles, I recommend using the Hopkins Heavy-Duty Trailer Coiled Wire Adapter 7-Way to 5-Way Flat with Nite-Glow, # HM47025. If you want a mounted 4 way round, you can use the RoadMaster 7-Wire to 4-Wire Straight Cord Kit, # RM-98164-7.

If you don't already have safety chains, I recommend the RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables - 6,000 lbs, # RM-643, for this application.

For a braking system, I recommend the Blue Ox Patriot Portable Braking System - Proportional, # BLU37TR. This will allow you to have full power emergency braking or slow-to-an-idle action with the same system. The brakes in your towed vehicle are activated at the same time and with the same intensity you apply them in your RV. This wireless, radio frequency remote controller mounts in your cab and plugs into a 12V outlet. The brake system is positioned on the floor of your Jeep in front of the drivers seat and a bracket clamps around your brake pedal. This also plugs into a 12V outlet. This system includes a breakaway device. For your 2015 Wrangler, you will need a 12 V outlet kit, # RM-9332, because your dash outlet won't have power when the vehicle is in tow mode.

With these items, you will be all set to tow your 2015 Jeep Wrangler Sport behind your Challenger motorhome.
