The Roadmasterinc.com webpage lists the three baseplates. It seems they all fit the 12-14 CR-V, the three models are based on how the tow bar adapters interface with the baseplate.

I believe the "H" stands for "Hard", and I haven't seen too many install instructions that went to so many pages. I've only done five baseplates and the work didn't seem as difficult as all that detail indicated.
