I have an option for you, but I'm afraid the Curt Extender for 2" Receivers -18" Long, part # C45796 won't work for your application. It has a capacity of 3,500 lbs, and from what I found, your Jeep Grand Cherokee exceeds that.

If a 12" extension is enough for what you need, your best option, with a 10,000 lb capacity, is the Bue Ox Hitch Extender # BX88264. This is the longest extension with the highest capacity we have available for a 2" receiver.

Otherwise, please let me know the year of your Grand Cherokee, as well as the capacity of your motor home's trailer hitch receiver so I can look into it further for you.
