From what I could find it looks like you can tow your 2015 Honda Civic behind your motorhome, but you'll need to use a tow dolly to do so. I recommend verifying this in your copy of the owner's manual or with your local Honda dealer.
I recommend using the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly # DM9713045 for multiple reasons. This is basically the Cadillac of tow dollies because of the integrated disc brakes, foldable ramps and tongue (for storage), and steerable axle. The Kar Kaddy SS also comes with lighting already installed so you don't have to add any additional wiring either.
If you're looking for something more cost-effective then we also have the Roadmaster Tow Dolly # RM-2050-1 which comes with drum brakes and lighting but is more of a basic tow dolly and you have to add either a 6-Way # PK11604 or 7-Way # PK12706 to activate both of these features.
I have attached review videos for both products so that you can see how they both operate and compare to each other.
