Many threads here talk about towing and what is needed...
First question is 'four down' or 'dolly'?
Check your owners manual to be sure HOW it can be towed.

Assuming Wrangler is 4WD, it will likely need to be 'four down' - so I'll base the rest on that...

You will need:
  • Base plates on the Jeep - attach to the frame and provide the connection points for the towbar. Roadmaster and Blue Ox are most common brands.
  • Lighting for Jeep - can be add on lights or wiring to poer existing lights. Mopar makes an OEM solution that plugs in (at least on my 2010) and uses the normal Jeep lights providing the wire to hook up to the RV.
  • Supplemental braking for Jeep - can be portable (Blue Ox Brake Buddy) or permanent (Roadmaster Invisibrake)
  • Towbar to connect MH to Jeep - wide range of prices - some allow easier connect/disconnect even if vehicles not aligned/level.
  • Wiring between MH and Jeep (assuming you have a properly wired 7 pin harness already on rear of motor home)
  • Safety cables
Many different options to choose from...
I have Roadmaster Base Plates (I have older - but their new style eliminates the crossbar), Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain towbar, Roadmaster Invisibrake, OEM Jeep Wiring harness - towing a 2010 Wrangler behind a Hurricane 32A.
