For trailer wiring the brand we have the best luck with is Tekonsha. They are the most reliable and overall give us the fewest problems. The majority of the time we have an issue with a wiring harness it's a Curt brand. And they've redesigned a few times with the same result. So for your 2015 Honda CR-V you'd want the # 118561 which is a confirmed fit and will work well.

I attached an install video for you to check out as well.

I observed viewing install video for #118561 that tech mounted converter box in spare wheel compartment. My question is... does wiring harness have enough reach that fuse also can be located out from behind interior side panels?

@Elvis It's hard to say as it was designed for that. If you absolutely need to mount it there you could always extend the wires if needed to make up for that as needed.

Viewed more videos and got the answer I was looking for... Yes, fuse is able to be mounted from behind interior panels.
