Hi George!

I can definitely get you a full flat towing set up for your 2007 Honda Element EX. Almost everything I have included below is Roadmaster as they make some of the best flat towing parts on the market, but I did throw in our own tow bar. It's quite a bit less expensive and will handle everything fine. Plus it includes the safety cables.

Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # 1541-5
etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plates - RV Mount - 6,000 lbs # e74ZR
Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles - 7-Way to 6-Way Coiled Adapter Cord # RM-15267
Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-88400
Roadmaster InvisiBrake Flat Tow Brake System - Preset # RM-8700

Most of these parts are pretty self explanatory, but the Brake-Lite relay may not be as well known. It keeps your Element's brake signal from overriding the turn signal sent by the RV and is definitely needed.

If you have any other wuestions or if I got the style of the base plate wrong, just let me know!

Thanks for the list. Do you know anyone who installs the system in the Paris Tex area?

@GeorgeB It looks like there are a few around the Paris area. I included a link to our Dealer Locator that will show you all the places we recommend (you may need to update the zip code). I would still call around a little to see who has the best prices. Never hurts to look! Let me know if there is anything else I can help with! : )

My stepson flat tows a jeep and has informed me I will need a battery charger for aux power from the Bus to charge teh vehicles battery. Is this true?

@GeorgeB Jeeps do draw a lot of power when being flat towed, but your Element does not. You can use the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-156-25 if you find that to be inaccurate, but I don't think you will have any issues.
