You would need to disconnect the driveshaft and find a lube pump for the transmission to avoid damage to the drive train when towing your Tacoma. Toyota does not approve of flat towing so there is a bit of risk involved here as you would be assuming full liability in the event your vehicle is damaged.
We always recommend getting a charge line kit like # RM-156-25 to prevent any issues from arising when towing your vehicle. You would want to follow the steps listed under the emergency towing section of your owner's manual to get your vehicle prepared for towing.
If you haven't picked out your flat towing components then I have the following recommendations for you:
Baseplate: Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX3795.
Tow Bar: etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates # e47ZR. This tow bar is designed to work with the Blue Ox baseplate I recommended above and comes with safety cables included so you don't have to purchase them separately.
Tow Bar Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. This diode kit will transfer your motorhome's brake and turn signals through the tail lights of your Tacoma.
Braking System: Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System # HM39524. This system comes with a remote that will alert you when the brakes are depressed in your Tacoma and allow you to change the brake intensity on the go. It also comes with a vehicle charge line kit included so you won't have to purchase one separately.
