Absolutely!

First you will need a Base-Plate Kit and Tow Bar. I recommend the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-521448-4 which is confirmed to fit your 2017 Jeep Wrangler as long as it is not a Winter, Hard Rock, or 75th Anniversary model. For a Tow Bar I recommend the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain # RM-522 which is a great system that has a non-binding design that allows you to release your vehicle at any time even on uneven ground.

Next you will need a wiring kit to power the lights of your Jeep. I recommend the Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # HM56200 which does not require you to splice into you vehicles harness since it is a plug and play system for your jeep. If your RV has a 7-way connector you will need the Roadmaster 7-Wire to 6-Wire Kit # RM-98146-7 which includes the vehicle side 6-way connector to complete the wiring.

For a Brake Kit I recommend the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR which is a proportional system that matches the braking force you apply to your RV to the brakes of your Jeep. You will also need the 12 Volt Outlet Kit # RM-9332 for your Jeep. I included a video of the Patriot 2 being installed on a Jeep as it installs the same as the Patriot 3.

You will also need safety cables like the Roadmaster EZ Hook Safety Cables # RM-655-68, and if your RV has a 7-way connector you will need the Roadmaster 7-Wire to 6-Wire Kit # RM-98146-7 to connect to the connector on your Jeep.

I included videos to all of the products for you to take a look at.
