There's two different options to tow your 2021 Versa. If you have an automatic transmission it can't be flat towed and the only way to haul it behind an RV is to use a trailer or a dolly like the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes item # RM-2050-1.
If your 2021 Versa has a manual transmission you will need the parts listed below:
Tow Bar and Safety Chains - Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar item # RM-520 and item # RM-643
Base Plate Kit - Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms item # RM27FR
Wiring Harness - Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit item # RM-15267
Supplemental Braking System - Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System item # SM99251
High Low Adapter - The tow bar needs to be within 3" of level. If you measure the height of the inside top of the hitch receiver tube on your RV, and the height difference is more than 3 inches above/below the base plate tab height, you'll need a high/low adapter. I have linked a FAQ article that explains all this in more detail along with our selection of adapters.
