In order to flat-tow a vehicle behind a motorhome you will need some sort of lighting system and for this you have the option of magnetic lights which simply sit on the towed vehicle or diodes which use the factory tail light circuits. The make/model of the towed vehicle is irrelevant for this as the kits are mostly universal and will work on vehicles made in the USA/Europe and those with separate or combined tail lights circuits. That said, what you do need to make sure of is that the motorhome has a US 7-way trailer connector which is pretty standard. If so, you can use the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit part # RM-15267 which will work perfectly on a vehicle such as the 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500.
