Expert Reply:

To flat tow the 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, in addition to the # RM-676 Nighhawk tow bar, I'd recommend the # RM-521453-5 direct connect base plates, the # RM-152-98146-7 wiring kit, a supplemental braking system like the Roadmaster Invisibrake, part # RM-8700 and the # RM-751490 stop lamp switch. The wiring kit includes an umbilical wire to connect the tow vehicle to the motorhome. Although your Nighthawk tow bar already includes this part, this is one part where you'll appreciate having a spare at some point.

Assuming the Jeep is at stock ride height on the stock 245/75-17 tire size, the base plates will sit about 16-1/4 inches above the ground. If the height difference between 16-1/4 and the height of the receiver on the motorhome is greater than 3 inches, a high/low adapter will also be needed. I'll link to our selection of adapters.

I've also linked to installation videos for some of the parts mentioned above.
