According to page 294 of the online owner's manual for your 2000 Honda Accord you can tow your vehicle with a tow bar and all 4 wheels on the ground but you'll need to leave your key in Accessory mode and unplug the radio or anything else plugged into that accessory power to prevent your battery from draining.
If you have a manual transmission you need to take the parking brake off and shift into neutral but if you have an automatic you need to release the parking brake, start the engine, shift into D4 then to neutral, and then turn off the engine. I do recommend checking this against what's in your owner's manual or with your local Honda dealer for confirmation.
To flat tow your Accord I recommend using the following parts:
Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit - # 1545-1
etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar - # e44ZR (comes with safety cables)
Heavy Duty Magnetic Tow Lights - # TL21RK
Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System - # HM39524
High-Low Adapter - See attached article (bracket height is 17")
All of these parts will be required to tow your vehicle behind your RV. This is the most cost-effective setup that we have to offer for your vehicle and everything aside from the base plate kit can be transferred to a future vehicle.
