There unfortunately is not a plug-in style diode kit available for your 2022 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk so you'll have to either use magnetic lights or a splice-in diode kit. For magnetic lights you can use the Tow Ready Magnetic Tow Lights # 73864.
For a splice-in diode kit you can use the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267, unless you have ParkSense Proximity Sensors in which case you'll need Smart Diodes # RM63MR instead.
If you haven't picked out the rest of your flat towing components then I have the following recommendations for you:
Baseplate: Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521451-5.
Tow Bar: etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plates # e74ZR. This tow bar comes with safety cables bracketed to the arms so you won't have to buy them separately or worry about them dragging on the ground.
Braking System: If your motorhome has air brakes then I recommend the Demco Air Force One Supplemental Braking System for Motor Homes with Air Brakes # SM99243 and for hydraulic brakes the Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # SM99251.
The brake light switch wire in your Cherokee isn't useable so you'll need to also install the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751471 in order to get the brake signal for either system's indicator light.
