So many tow/towed CR-V's, you may be able to source a used baseplate. Used towbar, easier, but like mentioned above, shipping can hurt. That said, the LTL (Less than Truck Load) freight business is booming, and there are "freight brokers" who can arrange shipping at below posted rates. I guess they buy vacant space.
Used parts, the Big Three (Baseplate, Towbar, Braking) can probably be found under $1000 total. Over double that new. Then there's installation. So far, I've been able to do my own installs.
As you shop baseplates, pull up the install instructions. Those'll help assess the difficulty, and help you see how much hitch drop you need to align RV and car, within 3" of level along the towbar.
Several of us have installed baseplates and can help if you want to DIY that job.
