Help choosing towing system Sunseeker Class C
Hello, fellow RVers. We have a 2013 Sunseeker 3170 and a 2012 Jeep Rubicon. Just came off a trip where we had a medical emergency but no Jeep! Please help us determine what we need to buy to tow it. ...

Here's where I am (all new, free shipping):
Blue Ox Aventa LX BX7445 class IV tow bar, $612
Blue Ox Aventa LX BX88231 towing accessory kit, $250
Blue Ox BX88285 EZ light wiring harness kit for my Jeep (2012 Wrangler Rubicon), $147
Blue Ox BX1126 baseplate, $362.
Currently pricing out brakes, but looking at the Blue Ox BRK 2012 Patriot, $1,000.
Am I missing anything important?
Yes, swap the blue ox tow bar, accessory kit, and patriot braking system for the Readybrake integrated tow bar and brake system I mentioned previously, and you'll be good. And, that approach will save you nearly $1000 since you won't have to buy a separate braking system. Not to mention you'll have a much better, simpler, easier to use braking system.
Other than that, your list looks good. :)
does the readybrake have a break away function?

Yep, has a very good break-away unit, called their 'Readystop' unit (I noted it in my previous post as well).
Yes, it costs a few more $$, but even with that, it still is much, much less $$ ('bout $1k less overall) than what you'd pay buying a separate tow bar and brake system.
