In order to flat-tow your 2009 Honda CR-V with four wheels downs, which is the recommended way to tow this vehicle according to the owner's manual, you will need base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, a supplemental brake system, a flat-tow wiring harness, and a possible high-low adapter. I have attached my recommendations on the above items for you below.
Base Plates: Blue Ox Base Plate Kit part # BX2246 (See Install Video)
Tow Bar: Blue Ox Alpha Tow Bar part # BX7380 (See Install Video)
Supplemental Braking System: Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR
Flat-Tow Wiring Harness: Heavy Duty Magnetic Tow Lights part # TL21RK
High-Low Adapter: (See Article/Selection)
In addition to the above key components you will also need the Roadmaster Fuse Bypass part # RM76511 and the Roadmaster 12 Volt Outlet Kit part # RM-9332. The fuse bypass will be needed for the #34 fuse in the fuse box as this will prevent battery drain and the outlet kit is to power the braking system.

Is the 2009 Honda CRV EX AWD ok to flat tow behind motor home even if it is AWD? We want to make sure it won’t damage the transmission etc. Thanks
