To attach your 2013 Honda CR-V to your Roadmaster Sterling All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-576 you will need the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # RM-521567-4. The Quick Disconnect Crossbar Assembly # 910021-00 is needed to connect to the crossbar base plate.
If you are missing the 7-Way Cable # RM-98146-7 or Safety Cables # RM-645 they are available. Also available is the RoadMaster Nighthawk All Terrain and Sterling All Terrain Towing Combo Kit # RM-9284-2 to get all the storage bags and locks if those are missing.
The Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit # HM56304 will tap into your taillights so that you do not need to carry a set of magnetic taillights. This will terminate on the front of the CR-V with a RoadMaster 6-Wire Trailer Connector # RM-910030-7. A Roadmaster FuseMaster Fuse Bypass # RM76511 is recommended so that rather than having to pull the radio fuse every time you tow you can simply flip a switch.
I recommend installing the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit # RM-156-25 to maintain your vehicle charge line while you are towing. It will attach to the 6-way connector on the front of the CR-V so that when you are connected the battery is being maintained off your motorhome charge line.
The Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System # HM39524 will control the brakes in your CR-V. This system is proportional and will match vehicle braking on your motorhome. A wireless remote allows you to monitor the brake activation and adjust settings from inside the motorhome as you drive. This is a great option as it can be used in multiple vehicles with a 2nd Breakaway System # HM39340 and Dash Mount Connector # HM39342
