I found an online copy of the owners manual for your 2005 Ford Focus and Ford says that you cannot tow your 2005 Ford Focus with an automatic transmission with all four wheels on the ground. A tow dolly would probably be your best option to tow your vehicle behind your RV.

For that I would recommend the RoadMaster Tow Dolly part # RM-2050-1.
