The Blue Ox Avail part # BX7420 is a great tow bar that would work well for you. They make adapters to allow the tow bar to be carried level for situations like yours where the height of the vehicle and RV hitch aren't the same.
Most likely you will also need a high low adapter so that the tow bar will be level when you are flat towing. I attached a link to a page that has all of the ones we carry. I also attached a help article that details how to pick out the correct adapter.
