  • What Fuses Need to be Pulled to Flat Tow 2017 Honda Fit
    I took a look at the online owner's manual for your 2017 Honda Fit EX. It starts off by stating that only the manual transmission models of the Honda Fit can be towed behind a motorhome with all four wheels on the ground. For extended towing (more than eight hours in one day) you will need to remove the 20 amp accessory power socket and 7.5 amp ACC fuses. These fuses are located in the interior fuse box. You will also want to remove the 15 amp back up fuse located in the engine compartment...

  • Flat Towing Parts Needed for a 2015 Honda Fit
    If your 2015 Honda Fit has a manual transmission it can be flat towed with all 4 wheels on the ground. The automatic vehicles can not because of the CVT transmission. For a base plate kit you would want the part # RM-521569-4. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon 2, # RM-520. For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled...

  • Can a 2015 Honda Fit Sport Automatic Be Flat-Towed With 4 Wheels on the Ground
    According to one of our primary resources for flat-towing information, Roadmaster Engineering, the 2015 Honda Fit is flat towable. However, your new Fit owner's manual is the best place to check for any cautions or special requirements for flat-towing your exact version of the 2015 Fit Sport. We offer Roadmaster base plates for the manual transmission version of the 2015 Honda Fit Sport. That is their EZ4 Series Base Plate # RM-521569-4.

  • Can a 2017 Honda Fit w/ Manual Transmission be Flat Towed Behind a RV
    I checked the owners manual for the 2017 Honda Fit and it states that the manual transmission model can be flat towed behind your motorhome. The procedure for prepping the vehicle for towing are listed on page 308 of the manual. The procedure is as follows: 1. Shift to N ( neutral ). 2. Release the parking brake. 3. Turn the ignition switch to the accessory position or press the Engine Start/Stop button if equipped. Make sure the steering wheel does not lock. 4. Turn off all electrical...

  • How to Flat-Tow a 2015 Honda Fit Manual
    According to the owner's manual for your 2015 Honda Fit, if you have a manual transmission then you can tow the vehicle behind a motorhome. If the vehicle will be in tow for more than 8 hours then you are going to need to remove a few fuses even if a battery charger is installed.

  • Using a Tow Dolly for 2017 Honda Fit
    From my online search results it appears that using something such as the Roadmaster Tow Dolly, # RM-2050-1 is acceptable per the owners manual. Only models with a manual transmission can be towed with 4 wheels down, also called flat towing. If you decide to consider flat towing (manual transmission only), you will need: - Roadmaster EZ4 Base Plate Kit, # RM-521569-4 - Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar, # RM-520 - Safety Chains, # RM-643 - Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit, #...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2015 Honda Fit Behind a Motor Home
    Basically, the difference between EZ4 base plates # RM-521569-4 and EZ5 base plates # RM-521569-5 for the 2015 Honda Fit is the design of the draw bar arms. The EZ4 base plate arms have a wide flat front to attach to the Roadmaster tow bar crossbar. The EZ5 base plate arms have 2-prong ends that attach directly to the tow bar without the use of the crossbar. Both sets will work with the Falcon 2 tow bar # RM-520 but the EZ5 would be easier to use. The base plates include short safety...

  • Parts Needed to Tow a 2015 Honda Fit Either Flat Towing or on a Tow Dolly
    In addition to the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520 you'll also need a base plate kit, wiring, a supplemental braking system, and likely a high-low adapter to flat tow your Fit. According to my research a 2015 Honda Fit cannot be flat towed according to Honda. However, you'll want to consult your owner's manual to make sure your vehicle is able to be flat towed without damaging it. If the Fit must be towed on a dolly you can use the Roadmaster Tow Dolly # RM-2050-1. If you find...

  • What Fuses Need to be Bypass or Removed Flat Towing a 2017 Honda Fit
    After reviewing the owner's manual for your 2017 Honda Fit for extended towing you will need to remove the 20 amp accessory power socket and 7.5 amp ACC fuses on the interior fuse box. You will also will remove the 15 amp back up fuse located in the engine compartment fuse box. To make this process easier, I highly recommend adding the Roadmaster FuseMaster Fuse Bypass - 13" - 20-Amp Mini-Fuse # RM76511, the Roadmaster FuseMaster Fuse Bypass Switch for Towed Vehicle - (2) 20-Amp ATM Mini-Fuses...
