We tow a 2014 CRV. We go through the full routine every morning and when we approach 8 hrs in tow. We do not redo it if we stop for an hour for lunch. We have a fusemaster disconnect switch and a brake activation switch (required for our SMI, embedded braking system) that we flip prior to towing. When we park for the night, we put the car in Park, lock it and then start over the next day. We plan to get locks for our tow bar to baseplate connections. When you tow, the key must be in the ignition. It would be very easy for someone to steal the car while we are parked and getting lunch at a restaurant. If I take the transmission out of neutral, iI go through the routine again since the users manual says never go from reverse to neutral.
