Flat Towing a 2022 Chevrolet Spark
The Chevy Spark can be flat towed only if it has a manual transmission. To flat tow the Spark, you will need a base plate, I recommend Blue Ox Base Plate Kit, # BX1725. For the tow bar, I recommend The Blue Ox Avail Tow Bar, # BX7420. This non-binding design makes hooking up and unhooking the Spark from the motor home so much easier.

Supplemental Braking System Recommendation for 2013 Chevy Spark
Supplemental braking is required by law when flat towing a vehicle. Even if the vehicle is smaller like your 2013 Chevy Spark. The easiest system to set up and use is the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR, that applies the vehicle brakes in proportion to how much the tow vehicle is braking. This is the safest way to stop and it reduces wear and tear on both vehicles. Since your vehicle will require the battery get disconnected when flat towing you'll also need the outlet kit part # RM-9332.
