Manual Transmission Honda Civic

Can I either tow a Honda Civic 2002 manual transmission, 4 wheels on the ground, or on a dolly? We have a Class C, Fleetwood 30' and live in WA state. Would I need that extra braking system.
And if the answer is yes, how much would a dolly cost, braking system cost.
And if no one knows, can you point me in the right direction

    I tow a 1986 Honda Accord, with A/T four wheels down. Eventhough the manual says not too, there was a Honda service bullitan which came out in the middle 1990's advising that it would alright to tow 4 wheels down, if you run the A/T thru each gear before towing and then app. every 8 hr's. after that if you continue to tow. Mine is only 2400 lb's., and I do not use a brake. I live in WV where there are hills, but if I have to go up and down any long 7%(or greater) grades, I usually unhook and let my wife drive it. I believe that I found this info. on towing old Hondas thru Blue Ox.
