Expert Reply:

As long as your 2020 Delano itself is rated at that 5,000 lbs and it isn't just the hitch itself, I see no issues flat towing your 2020 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk behind it. I just recommend avoiding loading up the Jeep with cargo so you aren't pushing weight limits. Here are the parts I recommend using to flat tow your vehicle:

etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit - # e98951
etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar - # e34ZR (includes safety cables)
Roadmaster Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit - # RM-15267
Charge Line Kit - # RM-156-25
Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System - # HM39524
Hi-Low Adapter - See attached article (bracket height is 19")

The etrailer towing gear is some of the best on the market in regards to how easy it is to use once installed and then the Roadmaster wiring is very reliable which is why it's my favorite to recommend. The charge line kit is needed to help prevent your battery from dying while you're towing and it will connect to the middle pin on the Roadmaster wiring kit so it ties right in and makes it easy to connect to your motorhome.

The Brake Buddy Select 3 is a portable braking system which is nice because the installation isn't as intensive as the permanent systems but it still offers great performance and helps give you better control while flat towing your Cherokee.

The high-low adapter may or may not be needed depending on the height of the hitch receiver on your Delano. If you check out the attached article it will help you determine if one is needed. I'm also linking some videos for you to check out as well.
