Question:
In one of your answers you state you need a mounting plate kit but the RV dealership states a mounting plate will not work with my XRC bumper with a winch installed. I have a 2021 Mojave Gladiator basically stock other than the Smittybilt bumper and winch.

There are a few different XRC bumpers so you will need to verify with Smittybilt that your specific model is capable of flat towing by the D-Ring mounts. Smittybilt is one of the only aftermarket bumper manufacturers that actually do make some models that are rated for flat towing.
If yours does get approved for flat towing then you'll just need to measure the thickness of the D-Rings in order to choose the correct adapter. You can use part # RM-035 for 3/4" thick or part # RM-035-1 for 1" thick D-Ring bumper mounts. You'll need to use a Roadmaster branded tow bar like the Nighthawk # RM-676 that you were looking at to attach to the adapters.
If not let me know and we can look at other options for getting you out on the road.
For your lighting you'll need to use a universal kit like # RM-152, unless you have ParkSense Proximity Sensors, in which case you'll need to use # RM47ZR for LED tail lights or # RO94FR. The Nighthawk # RM-676 is going to come with the socket and adapter cable so you won't need to get a kit with one included. It's also going to come with safety cables so you won't need to purchase those separately either.
The braking system is going to depend on a few different factors. The first one being the braking type of your motorhome; if you have a motorhome equipped with air brakes then I recommend the Demco Air Force One Supplemental Braking System w/ Wireless Coachlink # DM26VR. You'll also need a stop light switch kit # RM-751497 to correctly alert you when the brakes are being applied.
If you have hydraulic brakes then you'll need to use the Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System
# RM-8700 instead along with the stop light switch kit # RM-751497.
