2003 Jeep Liberty 4x4

[Capt Joe]

First time toad puller here. Been pulling boats, utility trailers and travel trailers for nearly 50 years with trucks, suv's, etc but have never pulled with a motorhome.
I am looking at a 2003 Jeep Liberty Sport 4x4 with a 5 speed manual mated to the 3.7L V6. I haven't run a full CarFax or Auto Check on it yet but does appear to be in pretty good shape with only 35K miles...never towed as far as I can tell. I know it will need base plates, light wiring and I will need a tow bar and to be safe, some sort of brake assistance.
Would be pulling it with a 2004 Winnebago Brave 32V with the Workhorse W22 (8.1L w/Allison).
I do wonder if anyone could help me out with a few questions, please.
First, what kind of 'real world' MPG is anyone getting with a similar vehicle? When not being towed, it would be used as a drive to work, grocery getter, running errands and a bit of highway driving too.
Does it look like I'm missing anything in my planning process to make this a good, safe experience?
Any general comments, observations, thoughts, etc on the Jeep Liberty as a toad?

Thanks in advance for any and all info you folks are able to provide....

My buddy gets 16 to 18 MPG on his 2000 Liberty, and says that's about right for them.
