Roadnaster base plate for Honda 2014 CRV

Question

I just purchased a new base plate for my 2014 CRV, I did not know there 2 different models. One kit #521567-4 and the other is Kit# 521567-5. The -4 kit requires a cross bar to go between the insert arms, and the -5 kit insert arms are stand alone, according to Roadmaster they don't require and cross arm. Does anyone know if one is better or worse than the other. I have always towed with the cross arm before. I have a Falcon 5250 tow bar and not sure if should stay with the cross arm or not. According to Roasmaster all I would have to do is exchange the insert arms for whatever way I want.

Love to hear what other people think, pro or con

Thanks

I did that too and bought the one with the crossarm. I dont have the CRV anymore but still have the tow bar brackets and arm. I also have the 5250 roadmaster tow bar. All I had to do was change the end fittings but didnt realize that!

I have two toweds, both have RM brackets and no cross bars.  I don't have any problems that I know of and I use the Stowmaster tow bars.

Thanks for the input, Roadmaster says that I shouldn't have problems so I guess I'll take their advice and go without a cross bar. I just like to get other peoples views before I try something new. Can never be to careful

Safe travels everyone

I'm towing a Chevy Equinox with a RoadMaster baseplate that takes the individual arms no crossbar. It works very well, when removed nothing shows, and only the two inserts to store. Win Win all the way around.
