Expert Reply:
The base plates I recommend for your 2017 Jeep are part # BX1126. The base plate tabs can be removed when you aren't towing for a clean look.
The tow bar I recommend for your Jeep is the Blue Ox Avail, part # BX7420. This comes with the safety cables.
For lighting you can use the diode kit part # RM-15267. With this lighting you don't have to cut into the tail light housing. This lighting kit splices into your taillight wiring to allow your motorhome to control the tail lights on the Jeep. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front of your towed vehicle and enough coiled wire to go from there to the RV's 7-way.
For a supplemental brake system I recommend the Blue Ox Patriot, part # BLU37TR.
You will want to tow the Jeep as level as possible so I have attached a link to a helpful article that explains how to choose an adapter. I also attached links to other helpful articles you can check out.
