Every time I see someone towing a Jeep behind a nice motor home I wonder why would they do that as opposed to buying a nice flat bed trailer built for this purpose. Maybe someone can answer that question for me? Really just curious.
Gas Motorhomes have between a 5K and 8K towing capacity depending on model. With most gladiators being 5-6K there isn't enough capacity to tow the truck on a trailer. On a Diesel motorhome, that's a different story with usually a 10K or higher towing capacity.

My 35Ft Class A, doesn't have the towing capacity for a trailer and the Gladiator.

Additionally, most RV parks don't have room to Store an additional trailer and the vehicle. Going to a dedicated 4 wheeling spot is one thing, Taking a cross country trip towing a trailer really limits where you can stay especially on the East Coast.

To Answer the original question, I have both the HK D Rings and the Rock Jock Flat tow kit that bolts to the bottom of the oem steel bumper. They both work great, I just don't like the Riser connection to use the DRings now that my Gladiator is lifted with 37s. It worked great stock. The RockJock kit works perfectly with the RV hitch and the Jeep lift Sitting at 24" off the ground. Also using Brake Buddy Vantage for past several years on my LJ and now my TJ. Works great. The Curt Brake lighting cable is also plug and play. No wire splicing needed.
