We offer two base plates that are designed to fit your 2013 Honda CR-V.

The first is part # RM-521567-4. These base plates have removable drawbars that make the base plates almost invisible. These base plates will work with any Roadmaster tow bars.

The second base plate kit we offer is part # RM-521567-5. This has the same features with removable arms but will work with Roadmaster tow bars that are motor-home-mounted only.

There are five items you need when flat-towing. You will need base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, lighting for the towed vehicle, and most states require a supplemental brake system. I have attached links to some helpful articles about flat-towing you can take a look at.

For safety cables I recommend part # RM-643.

The tow bar wiring I recommend is part # RM-155. This kit bypasses your vehicle's electrical system. Fuse(s) must be pulled during towing. Please check owner's manual for flat-towing requirements. If your owner's manual says to only pull the #19 ACC radio fuse, use part # RM76511. If it states to pull the #19 ACC radio fuse and the #20 ACC key lock fuse, you will need part # RM76512.

For a supplemental brake system I recommend part # BLU37TR. for a 12V power outlet to power the system use part # RM-9332.

Since you want to tow the vehicle as flat as possible you may need a high-low adapter for your hitch. I have attached a link to our product page for the high-low adapters we offer you can check out. I also attached a helpful article that explains how to measure to find the right adapter for you.

For your 2013 Honda CR-V there are two options for base plate kits. Both of which would work with the Roadmaster Falcon tow bar part #RM-520 that you have already. The EZ4 part #RM-521567-4 is probably the set up that is the most similar to what you…

Answer 9

The crossbar style of Roadmaster base plate kits like the part #RM-521567-4 do not actually come with a crossbar but instead attach to tow bars that have crossbars like the Roadmaster Falcon 2 part #RM-520. Or if you prefer not to use the crossbar…
