To determine which hi/low adapter is needed when flat towing your Honda Fit you will first need to have both the vehicle and the RV parked on level ground.

On the RV, measure from the ground to the top of the receiver opening on the trailer hitch. Then on the Fit, measure from the ground up to the center of the base plate brackets the tow bar attaches to.

The RV is likely higher so the difference in height is the amount of drop you will need. Most tow bars can be mounted within a 3 inch range up or down from level but you will want to check the instructions for your tow bar to determine what range it requires.

I have included a link to all of the adapters we carry for you.
