Hey Jameson,
The Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # 1555-3 isn't compatible with the Roadmaster Tracker Tow Bar # RM-020, but you can use one of the Roadmaster Crossbar-style kit which is part # 1555-5 if you have the trim package on the front bumper or part # 1555-1 if you don't have the trim package on the front bumper.
For a complete flat towing setup you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. If you do not have all of these components just let me know and I can make some additional recommendations for you.

Hey Jameson, how did things go with the base plate setup on your CR-V? Did one of the crossbar-style kits end up fitting your bumper trim? Your update could make it easier for the next person working on a similar flat tow setup.
