Keeping cost in mind I have the following flat towing component recommendations for your 2005 Jeep Wrangler with a double tube bumper:

Baseplate: Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521424-5.

Tow Bar: etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plates # e74ZR. This tow bar comes with safety cables bracketed to the arms so you won't have to epurchase them separately or worry about them dragging on the ground. The head and shank can also adjust a bit to help keep the tow bar level between the motorhome and Jeep without having to purchase a high/low adapter.

Tow Bar Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. This kit will splice into the tail light wiring of your Jeep to display your motorhome's traffic signals through the tail lights. The coiled cable can also be hung on the bar coming off of the tow bar arm to keep it from dragging on the ground.

Braking System: If your motorhome has hydraulic brakes then you'll want the Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # SM99251. If you have air brakes then you'll need Demco Air Force One Supplemental Braking System for Motor Homes with Air Brakes # SM99243.

You'll also need the Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-88400 to prevent your Jeep's brake signal from overriding the turn signal from the RV when applying the brakes during a turn.
