Believe you can find a list of towables on the MH magazine web site.
Back in the day, that information was given out free, however now Motorhome Magazine wants you to pay a subscription fee to get the older towing guides.
You might check the dingy towing section of Rv.Net, and see if any of the towable vehicles are listed.
It might cost upwards of $2,000 to set up a vehicle with a front mounting bracket, braking system, and tow bar.
My braking system is a simple one, $35 in junkyard parts. A cruise control motor off a Nissan, that pulls a cable and the brake pedal to the floor while the vacuum is applied via a small 3 way vacuum switch. When the RV brake lights are on, vacuum is applied from my gas engine motorhome. With a DP, you would also need a electric vacuum pump to supply the vacuum to run the power brakes.
You might also look at RvSearch.com and click on class A with a tow vehicle. Call the sellers and ask if the tow vehicle is available separately. Sometimes they will wait until the RV is sold to sell the car, and then might have it for sale. They should expect a premium for the car, already set up with a $1,000 hitch installed.
