I, too, have towed my '97 TJ behind my 40 foot motor home for MANY miles with virtually no issues. A ball mount hitch is what I have used for all those many miles and it is still working well. And, you can back for very short distances, ie; adjust front to rear for gas/diesel fill-ups. As for lighting, you can easily tap into the lighting system for the towed Jeep or get magnetic lights to mount on the bumper as mentioned previously. Also, some states may require brakes on a towed vehicle, but depending on the size(power) of the towing vehicle you should be fine without brakes on the Jeep. I really don't know it is behind there until I look in the review camera and see its "happy face" (grill and front bumper) just going where it's towed.
Good luck with the towing. If you have futher questions send my a private e-mail.
