Expert Reply:

The Roadmaster Eagle 8000 has a crossbar style base that would mount to crossbar style baseplates like the # 1444-1 you mentioned and would not require any other adapters. I do want to note that the # 1444-1 is only confirmed to fit the following bumper styles:

75th Anniversary Edition
Rubicon Hard Rock Edition
Rubicon Recon Edition
Winter Edition

If you have a different style bumper then please let me know and I can find a compatible replacement.

I also have the following recommendations if you haven't already picked out the rest of your flat towing components:

Tow Bar Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. This splice-in diode wiring kit will tie into your tail light wiring for a completely hidden look to properly display the traffic signals from your motorhome to keep you street legal.

Braking System: Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System # RM-8700. This system will work with both air or hydraulic brakes, making it compatible with whatever brake type your motorhome has to proportionally apply the brakes of your Wrangler to the motorhome and reduce wear and tear on it's suspension.

Safety Cables: RoadMaster 64" Double Hook, Straight Safety Cables - 8,000lbs # RM-646.
