CR-V towing with the engine on
Every now & then the question comes up about leaving the engine running while towing the dinghy . . . Let's just say I was a bit distracted by the grandkids when hooking up our 2010 CR- V yesterday. ...

There is a reason to consider leaving the engine running while driving. Honda does not recommend towing the CRV at speeds above 65 MPH. There has been reports of transmissions being "burnt up" after being towed at speeds higher than 65 MPH for extended periods.
After having replaced my transmission twice since I've been full timing, I would leave the CRV idling if I had intentions of towing it at high speeds for an extended period of time. Idling the engine provides oil circulation within the transmission.
