To flat tow your 2012 Honda Accord you will need the following parts:
Tow Bar and Safety Chains - etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Crossbar-Style Base Plates item # e44ZR
Base Plate Kit - Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms item # 521565-1
Wiring Harness - Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit item # RM-15267
Supplemental Braking System - SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System item # SM99251 or item # SM99243 if your motorhome has air brakes
High Low Adapter - The tow bar needs to be within 3" of level. If you measure the height of the inside top of the hitch receiver tube on your RV, and the height difference is more than 3 inches above/below the base plate tab height, you'll need a high/low adapter. I have linked a FAQ article that explains all this in more detail along with our selection of adapters.
