Safe and legal flat towing behind a motorhome requires a few components which include the tow bar, safety cables, a wiring/lighting solution, a high/low hitch adapter and base plates and a braking system for the towed car. Each of these items is covered in the linked article on the basics of flat towing and other articles are included too.
Base plate fits for the Jeep vary depending on your bumper type. The Blue Ox kit # BX1118 is correct if you have a U-channel front bumper. The Acclaim tow bar # BX4330 is compatible and it includes the required safety cables. The Roadmaster taillight kit # RM-155 will work if you want a permanent installation, but if you do not magnetic lights like # TL21RK are an easy and cost-effective option.
You will also need a braking system for the Jeep. There are many options shown on the linked page but the best one is the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR which is fully portable and wireless. You do not need to permanently alter the Wrangler and it is easy to move the unit to another vehicle when that time comes.
The other linked page will display all high/low hitch adapters, one of which will let you keep your tow bar level for best performance.
