Hey Art. So long as your 4WD 1989 Ford F-150 doesn't have front leaf springs you can flat tow it using the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit item # 414-1.
Here are the rest of the parts you'll need to flat tow your 1989 F-150:
Tow Bar, Quick Disconnect, and Safety Chains - Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar item # RM-520, Quick Disconnect Crossbar Assembly item # 910021-00 and item # RM-643
Wiring Harness - Universal Magnetic Tow Lights - 20' Wiring Harness with 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector item # TL21RK
Supplemental Braking System - Brake Buddy Classic 3 Portable Flat Tow Brake System - item # HM39494
What kind of motorhome do you have?
