According to the 2013 Honda CR-V owners manual the maximum towing capacity of your CR-V is 1,500 pounds so the Casita trailer would be too heavy at 1,880 pounds.
You could probably find a lighter trailer that is within the capacity of the CR-V. For a trailer hitch I recommend the Draw-Tite Class II hitch # 36520. For a ball mount use # 36051. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 and for a 2 inch ball use # 19258.
And to add a 4-Way flat trailer connector you can use # 118561. I have linked videos showing installations of the hitch and wiring for you.
