I have the Motorhome Magazine Dinghy Towing Guides all the way back to 2002. While this does not necessarily apply to your '97, none of the Nissan Automatic Transmission vehicles can be towed... only the manual transmission models.
I did look at the '97 Sentra Manual. Towing with all wheels on the ground with an automatic is restricted to 30mph for no more than 40 miles. Pretty much eliminates it as a towed vehicle unless you add a pump.
Your least expensive option might be to dolly tow. You can buy a dolly for less than the cost of buying and installing a pump, and while not as convenient, might be your most cost effective solution.
You have to add 600lbs or so to the towed weight for the dolly, but the Sentra is probably a light enough weight car that you should be well within the 5,000lb tow limit of your RV. The 2002 Sentra in the Dinghy Towing Guide supposedly weighs around 2,500lbs.
But check with the owner's manual again to make sure it can be dolly towed. Most FWD automatics can, but there are a few that have a low ground clearance that might give you problems.
