You need to really think this through as to what you must do every time you tow, and every time you disconnect your Ranger to drive it.
You are going to have to disconnect every time you tow it, even if only for a day, to get to your next campground.
When you get there, you will have to re-connect to use it for a drive, or even to disconnect it to back your class a into a spot.  Even if it's a pull through spot, chances are, unless the spot os perfectly level, you will have to disconnect the Ranger, meaning the shafts have to go back on.
And, then there is the connect/disconnect in inclement weather, and even going thru the routine in good weather but in dirt....not fun.
You may want to consider a trailer for the Ranger, depending on the tow rating of your RV.
We have a class c and flat tow a Subaru Crosstrek, manual.  Have towed to around 50,000 miles  across USA and Canada 4 times now, so I am familiar with flat towing.
No way would I ever tow a vehicle that had to have shafts removed every time I wanted to tow the toad, and then reconnect to use it.  On one trip. 13,000 miles and 3 months I guess we used the Subi at least 50 days, and I just cannot imagine connecting/disconnecting the shafts that many times.
If your planning on going to an area and staying for a period of time and then moving on for another long stay, OK.  But if your trips include many stops af a day or two and then moving on, you may want to rethink the Ranger.
