Absolutely! In order to flat tow your 2019 Ford Fiesta you will need a base plate kit, a tow bar, safety cables, a lighting solution, a braking system, and likely a high-low adapter. I will list my specific recommendations below and go into a bit more detail on each further down.
Base Plate Kit - Roadmaster Direct-Connect # RM-524438-5
Tow Bar - Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain # RM-676 (includes safety cables)
Lighting Solution - Roadmaster Hy-Power Diode Kit # RM-152
Braking System - Brake Buddy 3 Classic # HM39494
The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit is designed specifically for your Fiesta and its hidden bracket design will maintain a clean appearance when you aren't towing. Its arms will directly attach to the arms on the Roadmaster Nighthawk Tow Bar without the need for an inconvenient crossbar piece. The Nighthawk itself is one of the best tow bars on the market with its non-binding design that lets you easily release the vehicle at any point (even on unlevel ground) and its integrated LEDs to provide better visibility at night.
The Roadmaster Hy-Power Diode Kit will work with the coiled wiring included with Nighthawk Tow Bar to illuminate the Fiesta's signal lights in correspondence to those on the motorhome. The Brake Buddy offers an extremely reliable and easy-to-use system that will physically press down on the Fiesta's brake pedal in proportion to your braking in the RV.
Lastly, you will likely need a high-low adapter to keep the tow bar in the "Safety Zone" (3" above or below level). I have attached a great article below that explains how to choose the best one for your setup, along with a link that will take you to our available selection. I have also included video demonstrations on the products mentioned that you can check out.
