We can help you with the wiring and other components required to ready your 1990 Geo Tracker for flat towing behind your Newmar RV. Safe and legal flat towing does require a few items and the three linked articles will give you detailed background to aid your selection. The basic components needed to flat tow include a tow bar, safety cables, a wiring/lighting kit of some type and base plates and a braking system for the towed vehicle. A high/low hitch adapter is also often helpful to keep the tow bar level, which is important for good performance.
For a wiring/lighting option that will connect to your RV 7-way I suggest the Roadmaster # RM-15247 diode kit. This plugs in to your RV and includes a 4-pole socket you can install on the Tracker for quick and easy connection.
For base plates for the Tracker I like Blue Ox kit # BX3503 which is compatible with many Blue Ox tow bars like their Acclaim # BX4330. Since this tow bar includes the cables you save that expense.
For a braking system you can refer to the linked page and help article that explains the different options.
High/low hitch adapters are linked for you as well.
