Tow vehicles
I am new to having a motorhome. My wife and I have a Toyota Rav4. I have been told that we cannot tow it unless it is fully trailered. If this is so than which vehicles are able to be towed without us...

Just about any vehicle that has a standard transmission! My last tow vehicle was a Toyota Yaris that I towed all 4 down.
That's what we tow.
Absolutely love it. After a long drive in the bounder, we have a little car to zip up and down mountains. :)
Though we can tow it 4 down (and have), we actually bought a landscaping trailer with a drop gate for larger zero turn mowers. We just park the Yaris in that. All we do is drop the gate and back it off. The Yaris is also great because it doesn't take a large trailer, can use a small tow dolly, or 4 down. For me the quickest and simplest was the landscape trailer. No lights, no brake controls needed (as the Yaris is light - 2300 pounds). Plus I've seen too many toad catastrophies....
Rock chips, ruined tires/rims, left in gear & ruined transmission....
It's just simple with the trailer. Pull up, emergency brake, release clutch in 1st gear. Get out, shut gate.
