Question:

Is this TowSmart hitch strong enough to tow a small pop-up camper behind my 2025 CR-V?

You bet, Alan - the TowSmart 2 inch receiver # TS67ZR can handle it with ease. It’s rated for 4,500 lbs towing and 675 lbs tongue weight, which exceeds your CR-V’s limit of 1,500 lbs towing. That means the hitch will never be the weak point - you’ll just need to stay within your Honda’s capacity. So the real question is, how heavy is your popup? Hopefully it's under 1,500lbs so you can safely tow it with your 2025 CR-V.

For a complete towing setup, you’ll need the T-One Wiring Harness # 118741 for your lights and the Ball Mount Kit # 989891 for your coupler connection. Both are plug-and-play and make it simple to get road-ready.

Is your camper already wired with a standard 4-flat connector, or will it need an adapter? I can help double-check that for you.

If you find that your camper is too heavy for your vehicle's capacity, your next option is to install a roof top tent on top of a sport trailer. For this, I'd go with Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer # MAL53FR along with Front Runner Rooftop Tent # FR26RV.
