Expert Reply:
Safe and legal flat towing of a vehicle behind a motorhome requires several components. The linked article that describes each of these is a great place for you to start. I also linked articles on high/low hitch adapters and braking systems in case you care to get into more detail on those items.
I suggest the Blue Ox base plate kit # BO74FR along with their Alpha tow bar # BX7380, which includes the required safety cables. For a lighting kit you can use a diode kit like # RM-154 for a permanent installation or an easy-to-use magnetic light set like # RM-2120.
For a braking system, the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR is hard to beat. It offers easy installation, wireless operation and it is fully portable and transferrable between vehicles.
You may also need a hitch adapter to keep your tow bar level; refer to the linked article for how to choose the right one.
