Congrats on the new motorhome! To flat tow your 2019 Ram 1500 4WD you will need the parts I have listed below. I have also linked any installation videos we may have so you can see how these products work and the process to get them set up.
Tow Bar and Safety Chains - Roadmaster Sterling Tow Bar item # RM-576 and item # RM-674
Base Plate Kit - Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms item # RM-522203-5 non Rebel
Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms item # RM-522205-5 Rebel Model
Wiring Harness - Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit item # RM-15267
Charge Line - Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles item # RM-156-25
Supplemental Braking System - Demco Air Force One Supplemental Braking System item # DM23MV only if your Newmar New Aire 3543 has the BrakeSync function. If you do not have the BrakeSync system you will need item # SM99243. I looked online and can tell you're running air brakes but I don't have the information on the BrakeSync system.
High Low Adapter - The tow bar needs to be within 3" of level. If you measure the height of the inside top of the hitch receiver tube on your RV, and the height difference is more than 3 inches above/below the base plate tab height, you'll need a high/low adapter. I have linked a FAQ article that explains all this in more detail along with our selection of adapters.
