I did some checking and the only recommended way to tow a 2013 Chevy Spark behind a motorhome would be with a tow dolly like the Roadmaster Tow Dolly # RM-2050-1. There isn't a transmission lube pump available for your vehicle to anyone's knowledge. The advantage to a tow dolly is it's about the same price as a flat towing setup, takes much less install time, and easily transferred to future vehicles as well.
