Helpful Expert Reply:
The first items you will need to flat tow your 2007 Honda CR-V LX AWD behind your Coachmen motor home is a base plate kit and a tow bar. The Demco tabless base plate kit, part # DM9519207, will fit your CR-V and it is compatible with the Commander tow bar, part # DM9511012. The tow bar also includes safety cables which are required by law.
The next item you will need is a light kit. I recommend a magnetic kit like # RM-2120. This kit does not require any cutting and splicing into your vehicle wiring.
For a braking system, I recommend the Stay-IN-Play DUO # SM99251. It's permanently installed so once it's in the CR-V all you need to do is flip a switch to set it up each time you tow. I've linked an install video for you.
Last, you will want to check your owners manual for instructions on the proper procedure for towing your CR-V. Honda lists specific procedures and limitations in the owners manual for flat towing.
I have attached a few help articles on flat towing and the different components for you to check out.
