Which tow kits have you used for Flat Towing (behind RV)

I'm planning to tow my '09 Honda Fit behind an RV this summer.

Does anyone have any experience with any of the tow bars for doing this?

Flat towing - with all four of the car's wheels on the ground.

Thanks

I just got a quote from Roadmaster.
It's about $1500 for the three parts needed.
Not including any supplemental braking system needed, another $1000-$1400

I tow my 2012 manual trans Fit using Blue Ox baseplate and tow bar system plus the Roadmaster supplemental braking system. This also requires addition of supplemental brake lights. Be sure to read the owners manual for the year and model car you want to flat tow. The auto trans Fit has a specific procedure and max speed that must be observed or risk damage to drive train.

Anyone flat towing a Fit without using a braking system? I'm going to be towing a 2020 manual Fit behind a class C motorhome. Because the Fit is so light - under 3500 lbs. I don't legally need a brake system with this set up in most provinces and states. You also need to consult the regulations regarding weight ratio - not exceeding 40% of the GVW of the towing vehicle.
