2014 Honda CRV all wheel drive

OK people in the know....what all do I need? Planning on using the Blue-OX bar thats on the back of the motorhome and getting the Blue Ox baseplate for the front of the CRV.

Any other major items? And of you RVers have such a towd and if so what do you think of them??

    I have a 2013, you are getting a fantastic tow car.
    My only advise I can give is you will absolutely run your battery dead if towing more than a few hours. The newer CRV's have much more parasitic battery drain loads on them than prior models. Its the radio fuse you must pull, which does a lot more than disconnect the radio.
    A battery charge line or a fuse disconnect switch is a must.
    I went the disconnect switch route simply because I have a 5 pin connector on the back of my coach with no 12V hot lead.
    The disconnect switch works perfect and I built it myself for less than 12.00 bucks link above.


    Mucho thanks!

    I added an additional lead in my wiring harness when I built it up and presently its just coiled up because I dont need it for my Liberty. I shall uncoil it and put it to use for the CRV though. Thanks for reminding me
