Hello Kay. I drive a 2006 Corolla, and it is definitely cool to see those early 2000s Toyotas still on the road. They don't make 'em like the used to!
That said, it looks like the manual transmission models can be flat towed, but sadly there are no base plates or custom fit flat tow equipment made for the 2001 Toyota Echo. There is just not enough demand so none of our manufacturers make anything.
So the best/only way to tow your Echo behind your RV would be with a flat bed car trailer.
