For your 2022 Ram 2500 Big Horn Diesel the Blue Ox base plate kit part # BLU86CR is a confirmed fit. For a tow bar you would want one with a higher weight capacity since the truck is pretty heavy like the Blue Ox Avail part # BX7420 which is rated for up to 10k.
For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front of your towed vehicle and enough coiled wire to go from there to the RV.
And finally, most states now require supplemental braking in the vehicle being flat towed. Since you have a Tiffin with air brakes what you'd want is the Demco Air Force One part # DM55MV which was designed specifically for your motorhome and will slow down the towed vehicle at same speed as your motorhome.
