Default Towing the Ram (wiring questions)

The title is correct and this is not another thread about towing with the Ram. I have a 2008 Ram 1500 4.7L 6-speed and I am going to be towing it behind the family's motorhome. I have installed the tow tabs but I need to know if anyone knows what wiring modifications I am going to have to make to connect the motorhome's wiring to the truck's to activate the brakes and turn signals. Thank you.

To tow your Ram behind a motorhome you will need an auxillary braking system, something like this

Youd be better off going with some magnetic lights, then you dont have to tap into you wiring at all, this site here even has wireless ones.
