The CRV is a perfect toad....and there are lots of them behind MHs.
Check your owners manual to make sure that you can in fact tow that particular model.
4-down is the better way to go, unless your vehicle can't be towed that way. It is easier to hook up and un-hook. It will cost a bit more than some of the less expensive dollies.
Dollies and trailers will give you the option of towing different vehicles...while you would have to get a different tow-bar for each 4-down vehicle you wanted to tow. I you only plan to use the CRV, you should be fine.
You can't back up a 4-down or a dolly, though it's easy enough to disconnect the 4-down if you need to back-up.....another plus for the 4-down.
A tow-bar (4-down) will take up very little room when you get to the CG. A dolly or trailer will be a problem at some CGs.
Congrats on the new RV:)
