We purchased a 2014 CRY because 2015 is NOT flat towable. We hooked it up last month as follows:
Blue OX base plate. It is really inconspicuous when the CRV is not set up for towing.
Blue Ox Avail tow bar. It is their latest and not supposed to bind when unhooking. It is also supposed to handle tight turns better. It is rated for 10K pounds, way overkill for us.
SMI Stay and play duo braking system. It is hidden (not portable) and only needs to be plugged in to an RV power cord when towing. It also needs both the motorhome brake signal to be on and deceleration to happen before it is activated.
Fuse master switch so I can deactivate the proper fuse without having to pull it.
We ran the toad brake light to the motorhome cab so it would be easily visible.
