Hey Paul,
For a 2020 Ram 1500 Sport I recommend the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BLU99FR. This baseplate is designed to work with your body style and with its smaller footprint should keep you looking close to the factory standard. If you haven't picked out the rest of your flat towing components then I have the following recommendations:
Tow Bar: Demco Excali-Bar III Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates # DM9511013-BX. This tow bar has a 10,500lb capacity, comes with safety cables included and bolted to the arms so they won't drag, and has a built in rise/drop in the shank so that you can keep the tow bar level between the motorhome and Ram.
Tow Bar Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. This kit will come with everything needed to display your motorhome's traffic signals through the tail lights of the Ram.
Braking System: If your motorhome has hydraulic brakes then you'll need the Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo # SM99251. This system will need to tap into the brake light switch, which isn't useable on your Ram so you'll need to install a stop light switch # RM-751000 to simulate the brake light switch signal.
If your motorhome has air brakes then you'll need the Demco Air Force One # SM99243 instead. This system won't tie into the brake light switch so you won't need a stop light switch kit with it.
