Question:
I have the equipment below. I am a bit uncertain about the battery charger but I think it is standard with the Invisibrake. My first question is whether the standard safety cables that come with the Falcon All Terrain will be long enough when I add the Roadmaster 070 High-Low Hitch Receiver Adapter. The cables work without the high-low adaptor with plenty of excess cabled coil at the RV. However, the high-low adaptor will add about 10. When I set it up the first time on level ground, I realized the vehicle base plate centers were 4 1/2inch below the RV hitch center, well outside the safe zone. Makes me question my major RV dealer service department who installed it. Also, can I buy two AMPLOCK U-HLP58 5/8inch Hitch Pin Locks keyed to the same key through you? Lastly, everything I read says a 2022 Jeep Trailhawk 4x4 with transfer case neutral option is unlikely to have a death wobble problem i.e. Its fixed. I know nothing is quarantined but have you heard of any 2021-2022 Trailhawks experiencing the problem? RV and tow: Winnebago Vista 2022 and Jeep Trailhawk 2022.

The Falcon All-Terrain Tow Bar # RM-522 that we offer doesn't come with safety cables included so I don't know the exact length that you have, but we tend you usually need to add on quick links, like part # 37201345, whenever a high/low adapter is used. These quick links are approximately 4" in length to help bridge the gap left by the # RM-070.
Without having the baseplate installed and the motorhome nearby to measure the hitch height it can be a total guess whether or not an adapter is needed. It's easy for us since we carry all the parts to just add one in during the install but at home an can be a hassle trying to figure out exactly where things are going to sit height-wise. If the dealer had both the motorhome and vehicle and didn't use an adapter then, yes, they definitely messed up letting you take off with a 4-1/2" difference.
If the quick links aren't enough to help make it from the baseplate to the motorhome tow loops then you could go with longer safety cables like the 80" # RM-653.
The # AMP37FR you referenced doesn't have a keyed alike option but you could go with a lock like # BL7018448, which codes to your Jeep's key so that you only have to carry around one key.
The Invisibrake # RM-8700 only has a charge line to simply replenish the power that it will drain from the battery. If you would like a charge line that can help keep up with more then you can use the # RM-156-25.
Everything looks good part-wise in your list, the only thing you might need to change is the diode wiring. If you have ParkSense Proximity Sensors then you would need the # RM63MR (LED tail lights) or the # RM26FR (incandescent tail lights).
As for the death wobble, we haven't heard much about it in almost two years but you could contact your local MOPAR dealer for any updates with your specific year/model.
