Question:
Thanks for all the help! That's exactly what I was looking for. I will also need essentially everything else for flat towing except a 2" hitch which is already installed on the bus. So I'll still need a battery charger for the towed vehicle, right? Like the Curt RVi battery charger? I will also need a base plate for my towed vehicle (2022 Jeep Wrangler 4xe, which does have a factory winch on front bumper). I had messaged separately about that and was told Blue Ox base plate # BX1139 should fit. And will need tow bar and braking kit if you have some recommendations.

You're welcome! Thanks for all of the information! You could go with the Blue Ox item # BX1139 but I've got a different recommendation that will save you some money and get you a better setup. The Curt RVi battery charger is definitely the way to go.
To flat tow your 2022 Jeep Wrangler 4xe, I recommend the following parts:
Tow Bar and Safety Chains - 8,000 lbs Roadmaster Sterling All-Terrain Tow Bar item # RM-576. This kit includes safety chains, the 7-way to 6-way cable to connect to your bus, along with the 6-way connector and mounting bracket that goes on the front of your Jeep.
Baseplate Kit - Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit item # RM24VR
Wiring Harness - Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit item # RM-152 or Smart Diode Kit for Variable Voltage LED Tail Lights item # RM47ZR if you have the Parksense feature
Supplemental Braking System - Curt RVi Series 4 Portable Flat Tow Brake System item # RVI44FR. You will also need the 12 Volt Outlet Kit, 20 amps item # RM-9332 to power the unit directly from your battery.
Charge Line Kit - Curt RVi Series Towed Battery Charger+ for Flat Towing item # RVI74FR. You can monitor the voltage through the Bullseye monitor included with item # RVI44FR.
High Low Adapter - The tow bar needs to be within 3" of level. If you measure the height of the inside top of the hitch receiver tube on your RV, and the height difference is more than 3 inches above/below the base plate tab height, you'll need a high/low adapter. I have linked a FAQ article that explains all this in more detail along with our selection of adapters.
Does your Jeep have the Parksense feature?

TYLER, I WENT THROUGH THIS ABOUT 2 1/2 YEARS AGO. WE BOUGHT AN ENTEGRA MOTOR HOME THAT HAD DIRECT AIR FOR BREAKING, THE 2” TOWING HOOKUP AND AND THE PLUG. WE PURCHASED A 2023 JEEP WRANGLER. THE PEOPLE AT E-TRAILER HELPED ME AND I PURCHASED EVERYTHING FROM THEM AND HAD A LOCAL GUY INSTALL IT. THE JEEP TOW CONNECTION LOOKS LIKE DIRECT CONNECTION IN PICTURE AND WE WENT WITH THE ROADMASTER TOW BAR AND HAVE NOT BEEN DISAPPOINTED. THE MECHANICAL CONNECTIONS WERE STRAIGHT FORWARD ENOUGH BUT ENTEGRA RECOMMENDED THE AIR FORCE 1 BRAKE CONNECTOR. IT CONVERTED THE BREAK PRESSURE FROM THE RV PNEUMATIC HOSE TO A CYLENDER CONNECTED TO YOUR BRAKLE PEDAL IN THE JEEP, WHICH WORKS FINE. THE LIGHTS INCLUDED THE DIODES TO CONNECT TO OUR BACK LIGHTS AND THEY WORK FINE ALSO. EVERYTHING THEY RECOMMENDED AT ETRAILER.COM WORKED FINE AN I WOULDN’T THINK THEY WOUOD STEAR YOU WRONG. W CAN HOOK AND UN-HOOK THE JEEP IN 5 MINUTES WHENEVER WE NEED TO, YOU LEARN TO PAY ATTENTION TO WHETHER THERE IS PRESSURE ON YOUR JEEP BUT THE ROADMASTER PRESSURE RELEASE ARMS TAKE CARE OF THAT. WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND IT. I JUST READ YOUR COMMENT ABOUT THE DIODE KIT AND WE DID HAVE THE PARKING BREAK SENSORS BUT THE DIODES PREVENT THE BRAKE SIGNAL FROM GOING BACK THROUGH THE JEEP’S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.I DON’T KNOW ABOUT THE CURT RVI SYSTEM BUT WE DO NOT HAVE THAT.

My Jeep does not have the Park Sense feature. So no need for the Smart diode variable voltage wiring?
