Can we tow a Honda CR-V with a Fleetwood 3500 max capacity?

I faced this exact decision a few years ago. Wanted a CR-V. Frame extension is rated at 3,500 max. After much agonizing went with a Fit at about 2,500 lbs. We can load it up with as much stiff as it will hold with no worry about busting the GCWR or chassis tow rating.
