• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2009 or 2010 Honda CR-V
  To flat tow your 2010 Honda CR-V you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and most likely a high-low adapter. I recommend going with the Roadmaster EZ4 Base Plate Kit # RM-521559-4. This will work great with the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520 and the RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables # RM-643 which are both rated for 6,000 lbs. For your vehicle tow bar wiring I highly recommend the Roadmaster Diode...

• Replacement Tow Bar to Flat Tow a 2007 Honda CR-V with Roadmaster Base Plates
  Wow, that's pretty crazy. I'd consider myself pretty lucky if I had a near-miss from a falling Redwood and only had damage to the tow bar. There's definitely a question there. You're looking for an easier to use tow bar to replace the Stowmaster, part # RM-501, that was damaged. You also need to make sure it fits the base plate kit already on your 2007 Honda CR-V. The base plates you have are likely the EZ4 kit, part # RM-521559-4, that works with the Stowmaster. For a hitch mount...

• Connecting Roadmaster 1559-1 Base Plates with Missing Weldments to Blue Ox Tow Bar
  I reached out to my contact at Roadmaster and he said that the Replacement Driver Side Arm C001477 will not fit your existing Roadmaster 1559-1 base plates. He said that the weldments for your particular base plate kit are no longer available so your only real option at this point is to replace the entire kit. If you were to go with another Roadmaster Base Plate Kit like part # RM-521559-4, which is confirmed to fit your 2007 Honda CR-V, you would still need to add the Adapter # RM-032...

• What Base Plate Kit Do I Need To Use the Roadmaster Blackhawk Tow Bar on a 2011 Honda CR-V
  I believe you are referring to the Roadmaster Blackhawk 2 All-Terrain Tow Bar part # RM-422 which is compatible with the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit part # RM-521559-4. However, so long as it is a Roadmaster Tow Bar it can be used with this kit. For a flat-tow wiring harness, I recommend the Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles part # HM56300 because it's a custom fit so no splicing is required. For a supplemental braking system, I recommend the SMI Stay-IN-Play...

• Will Roadmaster Blackhawk 2 Tow Bar Work with Roadmaster Base Plates for a 2010 Honda CR-V
  Yes, the Blackhawk 2 All Terrain tow bar will fit the XL base plates # RM-521559-4 for the 2010 Honda CR-V. Since you have already been flat towing, you probably already have safety cables but in case you do need cables use # RM-645. These are straight cables that you can use in the cable guides on the Blackhawk tow bar. You will also need lighting for the CR-V. If you are using a magnetic kit like # RM-2120 or something similar then you can continue to use that with the CR-V. If you want...

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2008 Honda CRV
  Your 2008 Honda CR-V needs a base plate kit installed on the front of it like the part # RM-521559-4 which is a confirmed fit and will work well.

  I am a little confused because you entered 2011 Honda CR-V for vehicle information and typed it in the title field but the question is on a 1999 Honda CR-V.

• Can I Use the Base Plates from a 2000 Honda CR-V on a 2006 or 2007 Model with the StowMaster Tow Bar
  Each of those model years will need a different base plate kit. If you purchase a 2006 Honda CR-V you will need base plate # 1555-5. If you purchase a 2007 you will need part # RM-521559-4. Both are brackets that will work with the Roadmaster StowMaster tow bar, part # RM-501. In short, you will need to replace the base plate kit with the appropriate kit, but you can continue using your StowMaster tow bar.
