Expert Reply:

To flat tow your 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited you'll need the following components:

Baseplate: Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521448-5. This baseplate is designed to work with a standard factory bumper, if you have a different bumper please let me know so I can find a compatible baseplate.

Tow Bar: etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e74ZR. This tow bar comes with safety cables included so you won't have to purchase them separately and they're bracketed to the tow bar so they won't drag on the ground. This tow bar also comes with an adjustable head and shank to help keep the tow bar level between the motorhome and Jeep.

Tow Bar Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. This wiring kit will splice into your tail light wiring and use your Wrangler's tail lights in order to properly display your motorhome's traffic signals.

Since you'll need to disconnect the battery while towing I recommend also picking up the Roadmaster Battery Disconnect with Switch # RM-766. This disconnect will have a switch that you'll mount in the dash to easily disconnect and reconnect your battery will a simple push of a button.

Braking System: Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System # RM-8700. This system is a permanent install that will give you proportional braking with no setup required after the initial installation. With your specific vehicle you will need to also install the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751452 to properly send the braking signal to the indicator light of the Invisibrake.

I've attached some videos below of the installations if you're planning on completing them yourself and would like a video to help walk you through the process. There's a lot that goes into flat towing so if you have any other questions please submit more and I'd be happy to help.
