Hi Roger,
To flat tow your 2009 Chevy HHR you'll need the following components:
Baseplate: Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit # DM9519196.
Tow Bar: etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e34ZR. This tow bar comes with safety cables bracketed to the arms so you won't have them dragging and has a built-in rise/drop to help keep the tow bar level without having to purchase an additional adapter.
Tow Bar Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. This wiring kit will transfer you motorhome's traffic signals to the tail lights of your HHR.
Braking System: If your motorhome has hydraulic brakes then you'll want the Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo # SM99251. This will need to tap into the brake light switch on your HHR, which unfortunately isn't useable so you'll also need to install a stop light switch # RM-751428 in order to get your braking signal. If your motorhome has air brakes then you'll just need the Demco Air Force One # SM99243 instead.
You'll need to remove fuse number 8 from the floor console fuse block to prevent your battery from draining while towing. I'd also install a charge line kit # RM-156-25 to prevent the braking system from draining the battery as well.
