Question:
Is this bumper compatible with a flat tow setup, and if so, would I still need a baseplate like Roadmaster 521453-5 or would I need adapters in lieu of baseplate? If adapters, which ones? Thanks! Duncan

Since the Rampage Mass Articulation Front Recovery Bumper # RA88509 is not rated for flat towing you would still need a base plate like the Roadmaster # RM-521453-5 to flat tow your 2021 Jeep Wrangler.
I recommend the following parts for flat towing your Jeep. First the Roadmaster Nighthawk All-Terrain Tow Bar # RM-676 which you will likely also need the Adjustable Drop Hitch # BLU28XR to keep the tow bars within 3" of level. The Roadmaster Accessory Kit # RM-9284-2 will contain the wiring for the tail lights along with locks, lube, a cover and carrying case. You will also need the Charge Line Kit # RM-156-25 to prevent a supplemental braking system from draining your battery.
Depending on your RV you will be flat towing with you will either want the Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo Braking System # DM86VR which is for RV's with hydraulic brakes. Or the Demco Air Force One Flat Tow Brake System # DM26VR for RV's with air brakes.
