According to Honda, the 2010 Honda Accord cannot be flat towed with all 4 wheels on the ground. Your best option to tow your vehicle will be to use a tow dolly like the Roadmaster Tow Dolly w/ Electric Brakes, # RM-2050-1.

The tow dolly will allow your Honda to ride with the front wheels off the ground which will guarantee that you will not damage the vehicle's transmission.

I also recommend the Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit, # RM-154, for a lighting solution. The kit will allow you to wire your car's lights up to be run off your RV's lighting. The diodes ensure that both your RV and vehicle lights will work together when towing.

I did some research and I found that there was no lube pump available for the 2010 Honda Accord.

My tow dolly has surge brakes. Will it be sufficient to tow a 2010 Honda Accord 4 door Sedan????

@TimothyG According to my research your 2010 Accord weighs under 4,000 lbs so you should be just fine - but since I have no idea what tow dolly you have, you'll want to check the weight rating listed for your tow dolly to make sure it can handle the weight of the vehicle.

@TimothyG From what I could find it looks like that has a weight rating of 2,900 lbs for a vehicle so it wouldn't be able to handle the weight of your Accord. I do recommend verifying this on your end. Because of this, I recommend using the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes # RM-2050-1 because it has more than enough capacity to tow your Accord.
