The cost of everything

For your 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, I recommend starting with the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-521448-4. This kit has removable arms to give you a very clean look when not flat towing your Jeep and also gives you a clean connection to your tow bar when towing behind your motorhome. I recommend installing this base plate using Loctite threadlocker # LT37420 to keep your hardware from vibrating loose over time.
For your tow bar, I recommend the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-522. Then you will use the safety cables # RM-643 and you may want to consider the tow bar cover # RM-055-3 for a clean storage when the tow bar is not in use whether attached to your motorhome or not. I've attached a video to show this function.
Then for your vehicle wiring, I recommend the Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # HM562007 which will connect to your factory wiring harness and then use the to the 7-way to 6-way connector # RM-146-7 and then the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-156-25 to maintain you Jeep battery when towing.
For your supplemental braking system, I recommend the SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO # SM99251 which is a really nice system that once installed becomes plug and play. There is only adjustment needed at initial installation. If you have air brakes in your motorhome, then I recommend the SMI Air Force One Supplemental Braking System for Motor Homes with Air Brakes # SM99243. This is a very similar system that utilizes an air hose to connect the vehicles and will still apply your Jeep brakes at the same time and with the same intensity as you hit the brake pedal in your motorhome.
Finally, you will need a high-low adapter for your specific connection. I've attached an article and have linked the page to all your options to further assist.
You can see the calculated costs in the online cart prior to checkout which will give you the most accurate expense. Let me know if you have any further questions.
