Dinghy Towing
Your vehicle was not designed to be towed with all of its
wheels on the ground. If you have a two-wheel-drive
vehicle, it can be towed with two of its wheels on the
ground. See “Dolly Towing” following. If you have an
all-wheel-drive vehicle, it cannot be towed with any of
its wheels on the ground. It can be towed with car
carrier equipment.
NOTICE:
Towing an all-wheel-drive vehicle with all four
wheels on the ground, or even with only two of its
wheels on the ground, will damage drivetrain
components. Don’t tow an all-wheel-drive vehicle
if any of its wheels will be on the ground.
Dolly Towing
If you have a two-wheel-drive vehicle, it can be towed
with two of its wheels on the ground. To dolly tow your
vehicle, do the following:
1. Put the front wheels on a dolly.
2. Put the vehicle in PARK (P).
3. Set the parking brake and then remove the key.
4. Clamp the steering wheel in a straight-ahead position
with a clamping device designed for towing.
5. Release the parking brake.
If you have an all-wheel-drive vehicle, it cannot be
towed with any of its wheels on the ground. It can be
towed with car carrier equipment.
NOTICE:
Towing an all-wheel-drive vehicle with all four
wheels on the ground, or even with only two of its
wheels on the ground, will damage drivetrain
components. Don’t tow an all-wheel-drive vehicle
if any of its wheels will be on the ground.

For a FWD RDV, I would use a dolly (as explained in above post). And, ensure the dolly has its own electric brakes - with Brake Controller installed in the MH (since the RDV vehicle is a heavy weight vehicle).

In addition, I would install Timbrens within the rear coil springs of the RDV.

If wondering, Timbrens (which are like air bags without pressurized air inside them) reduce vehicle's rear compression depth. And, I would install under vehicle belly 12V wiring with diodes in the rear of the RDV. Thus, allowing RDV's rear lights (brake, turn and running lights) to be activated with dolly's lights as well. To me, working rear lights on the vehicle being towed (and dolly) are much safer then "only the dolly lights".

If wondering, I installed Timbrens in my wife's mini-van. Love them since day one. Great for vehicles that need better then factory rear suspension support. And, great for vehicles on a dolly (that forces more vehicle gravity weight on the rear axle) as well.

Hope this helps as well....
