Doing the procedure the night before would then allow the transmission to cool off and drain. DrewRe: 2013 Honda CRV...now what???A Charging wire from the RV via the electrical umbilical solves the entire problem. If you have a 6 wire umbilical, the Blue wire (usually the center conductor) is used for this. That wire is run to the battery through a fuse (20 amp If I remember correctly). No more problems.Re: Charge Line CostJL7456, If you are starting from scratch and buying everything new, you would buy the 6 wire umbilical instead of a 4 wire. As far as running the Charge Line goes. On my RV it was already at the back of the RV, so all I had to do was run the wire from the Toad Plug to the battery through an in-line fuse. Took maybe 5 minutes more effort.Re: Pre towing procedure for HondaCan't tell you why they want you to go through the start procedure and then pull the fuse, but having owned and towed a CR-V which is similar, what I would suggest is to run a "charge wire" from the RV to the battery on the Fit. That will eliminate the need to muck with the fuse at all and keep the battery charged. Normally if you have a 6 wire umbilical between the RV and toad, you can use the Blue center wire as the "charge wire".
