and before you spend dime one on this ask yourself...how much weight can I safely tow? do you know your GCWR, GVWR, GAWR and the actual weight of your MH as it is loaded and configured for travel?
generally, the maximum amount of weight you can safely tow will be the lesser of the following:
• the GCWR (gross combination weight rating) of the MH minus the actual weight of the MH as it is loaded for travel (includes fuel, fresh water, food, clothing, people, pets, supplies, eyc)
• the weight rating of your tow bar
• the weight rating of your hitch
once you know then you'll be able to decide if you can theoretically tow the accord and can proceed to learn how to tow the accord.
good luck
