I did some research and found that your 2014 Chevrolet Spark with an automatic transmission cannot be flat-towed behind your motorhome.
In order to tow your Spark you will need to either use a transport dolly or use a tow dolly.
I recommend the RoadMaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes, part # RM-2050-1. This dolly has a capacity of 4,250 lbs and has electric brakes. This dolly also has an adjustable axle and ramps which will allow it to fit almost any vehicle. And the tow dolly also features lights.
In order to operate the electric brakes on this tow dolly, you will need to either have a 7-Way blade trailer connector on the motor home or if you have a 6-way on your motorhome you would need to change the trailer connector to match. If a 6-way connector is needed I recommend part # PK11604.
You will also need an electric brake controller. I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Brake Controller, part # 90195.,This is one of our most popular because it is easy to set up and operate. I have attached a link to a helpful article about brake controllers you can check out.
