The brackets on your Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-522205-5 are for connecting safety cables in the event of a disconnect/breakaway so you won't want to use those spots for the wiring. The best place to mount your emergency disconnect and 4-pole connector is in the grille above the skid plate. You can run the cables through and zip-tie them in place onto the grille. For the 4-pole I recommend using the 4-Flat Mounting Bracket Item # 18144 then add a short bracket # 18140 or a long bracket # 18136 to make it a no-drill application.
The diode kit RM-154 I recommended in your previous question is a confirmed fit for your 2019 Ram 1500 Rebel. If your 2021 Tiffin Allegro has a 7-way port instead of a 4-pole then you'll just need an adapter like the 7 Pole to 4 Pole with Flex-Coil Wire and Nite-Glow Item # 47015. I've attached some videos to help you with installation of your wiring and mounts.
