It sure does Troy. I checked with Roadmaster and you will need to use the Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles item # RM-88400 when flat towing a Rubicon model of a 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited.
It looks like you've done a couple flat tow set ups over the last couple years or so. What kind of motorhome do you have and are you needing any other parts for your 2020 Rubicon? You can add this information and any other questions you have where it says Reply to Jerred H and I'll be happy to answer them.

I’ve been reading alot of owners are saying it is not required that the wiring in the rubicon does not allow the brake lights to override the blinkers. Other pros on your site have said it is not required but the stop light switch is required. Now I’m really confused
