What Do I Need To Add To Flat-Tow A Jeep?
I'm planning to get a Jeep Wrangler and tow it behind a motorhome. I've read a little about doing this and I'm seeing a number of steps that can be involved to get the Jeep and RV set up correctly. ...

Just the sheer fact there is a larger footprint when setting up camp when you include a trailer for your extra vehicle should be a serious consideration when decided if towing or hauling a car is better or not.
With the right setup, it's mere minutes to unhook the towed and park it. It's never mere minutes with a trailer. At least any time I've had to haul a car, it's a lot of work. Just backing up to a large trailer accurately enough to hitch up is a difficult chore in a large motorhome.
Configuring your towed set up will take some time and research, which you are progressing on. It took me a few days to figure out how to set up my safety cables, wiring, braking, etc, but now it's plug and play with a tow bar that is adjustable so I only need to get close to set it up. As I pull away, the tow bar locks into place and away we go.
I would recommend a rear view camera and monitor. A cheap set up costing under $100 and you'll be able to see if there's anything bad happening.
