According to the owner's manual for your 2015 Honda Fit, if you have a manual transmission then you can tow the vehicle behind a motorhome. If the vehicle will be in tow for more than 8 hours then you are going to need to remove a few fuses even if a battery charger is installed. The correct fuses to remove will be located on page 309 and page 310 in your owner's manual. You can use part # RM76512 and part # RM76511 to eliminate manually pulling the fuses each and every time.
If you have a manual transmission then you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, wiring, supplemental braking system, and a possible high-low adapter. I have attached my recommendations on each of the following parts for you below.
Base Plate Kit: Roadmaster EZ4 Base Plate Kit part # RM-521569-4
Tow Bar: Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar part # RM-520
Safety Cables: RoadMaster Coiled Safety Cables part # RM-643
Supplemental Braking System: Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System part # RM-8700 and Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles part # RM-88400
Flat-Tow Wiring: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit part # RM-15267
