When using D-ring adapters to flat tow your Jeep like what it sounds like you're doing, safety cables will generally just need to be attached to the vehicle's frame. What you can do is use some short cables to wrap around each frame rail and then hold them together with quick links. You can then attach the safety cables from the RV to the quick links.
I recommend using the Blue Ox Safety Cables # BX88208, as it includes two 3 foot long cables and 4 quick links. They feature a 10,000 pound capacity. I have attached a short video demonstration for these cables that you can also check out.
