• Recommendation For Flat Towing A 1995 Honda Civic With Manual Transmission Behind An RV
  Based on my research, this should not be a problem. To flat tow your 1995 Honda Civic, you will need base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, wiring, a braking system, and maybe a high-low hitch adapter. For base plates, I recommend Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit, Item # 510-1, if you have a CX, EX, or LX and Roadmaster Base Plase Kit, Item # 508-1, if you have a DX, SI, S, or hatchback. For a tow bar and safety cables, I recommend the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar, Item # RM-520. Great safety...

• Tow Bar Recommendation for a 1990 Honda Civic with a Standard Roadmaster Base Plate Kit
  Yes, the RoadMaster StowMaster Car-Mounted Tow Bar # RM-501 that you referenced is compatible with the Roadmaster Classic Base Plate Kit # 508-1. The StowMaster would work well for you, if it were me though I would go with a Roadmaster Falcon 2 part # RM-520. This tow bar would store on the RV so when you disconnect your 1990 Honda Civic you would fold up the tow bars on the back of your RV instead of having to remove the tow bars from your vehicle and RV every time you needed to wanted...

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 1995 Honda Civic DX
  For a base plate kit for your 1995 Honda Civic DX you would need the part # 508-1 and not the # 510-1 you referenced as it would not fit. The vehicles are different enough that you would not be able to use the # 510-1. 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 design...

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow 1994 Honda Civic DX with 2004 Honda Odyssey
  I looked up the towing capacity of your 2004 Honda Odyssey EX and it looks to have a capacity of 3,500 lbs. The weight of your 1994 Honda Civic DX looks to be right at 2,100 lbs so you should be fine. I'd recommend installing a transmission cooler on your Odyssey like the part # D13503 to prolong the life of the transmission. For a base plate kit to fit the Odyssey you'd want the Roadmaster kit part # 508-1 to provide the attachment point for the tow bar. In addition to the base plates,...
