Expert Answers about Honda Fit

• Wiring to Connect Motorhome to 2010 Honda Fit That's Being Flat Towed
• The base plate has mounting points for either a 6 or 4 way round connector to attach, but the connectors aren't included with the base plates. I'd recommend cutting off the 4-pole flat provided by the Hopkins # HM56302 flat towing wiring harness and installing the 4 pole round connector provided with the 7-foot long Blue Ox 7-way to 4-pole round cord, part # BX88254. I've linked you to some of our flat towing FAQ articles.

• Availability of 8 Foot Flat Towing Umbilical with 7-Way on One End and 4-Pole Flat on the Other
• There's not an available 7-way to 4-pole flat umbilical like what you're looking for, but I do have some easy solutions for you. The Hopkins Nite-Glow 7-way to 5-way flat coiled adapter, part # HM47025 will work with either a 4-pole or a 5-pole trailer connector. It would plug right into the connector at the front of the towed vehicle provided by the Hopkins Towed Vehicle Wiring Harness you referenced, part # HM56302. If the unused socket bothered you, you could cover it with a small piece...

• Recommendation for a Towing a 2015 Honda Fit with CVT Transmission
• I did some checking and it looks like the CVT transmission 2015 Honda Fits aren't recommended for flat towing with all 4 wheels down on the ground. You can check with your local Honda dealer or the owners manual for more info on this. A tow dolly like the Roadmaster Tow Dolly part # RM-2050-1 would work well.

• How to Measure to Determine the Right High/Low Adapter Needed to Flat Tow a Honda Fit Level
• 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...

• Thule Summit K 12 Chains are Not Snugging Tightly on Tire
• The Thule K-Summit chains, size K12, should fit your wheels and tires just fine. You should not need to adjust the wire mounting point on the hub. Check step 2 of your instructions. Make sure the lug mount is seated all the way on the tire lug and is pointed toward the center of the wheel. When you ratchet the chains on, put plenty of strength on the ratchet. The wires may bow or torque, but they are supposed to. Once you have the chains on and ratcheted down tight, drive for at least...

• Will a Class III Trailer Hitch Fit on a 2013 Honda Fit Sport
• Trailer hitches are vehicle specific and Curt hitch # 13534 is designed to fit a 2008 to 2013 Toyota Highlander. It will not fit a 2013 Honda Fit. Trailer hitches for the Honda Fit are much smaller because the vehicle is not as capable as a larger SUV or truck. I have included a link to the trailer hitches that will fit your vehicle. If you are looking for a hitch to carry something like a bike rack then I recommend EcoHitch trailer hitch # 306-X7286. For a bike rack, I recommend the...

• Will Curt Roof Mount Cargo Basket Fit Rhino-Rack 2500 Aero Crossbars on a 2012 Honda Fit
• The Rhino-Rack Aero Bars measure 3-1/8 inches wide. The Curt basket, # C18115, will fit bars up to 3 inches wide so it will not fit the Rhino-Rack bars. The Thule basket, # TH859XT, is designed to fit bars of many widths so it would be a great choice for you. I have included a link to a video review of this basket for you.

• Can a 30 Amp Fuse be Used in the Roadmaster FuseMaster Fuse Bypass on a 2012 Honda Fit
• If you're going to be listening to Taylor Swift you might need a higher fuse rating! But seriously the fuse bypass for your 2012 Honda Fit, # RM76511, is rated for a maximum 20 amp fuse. But, you really only have to pull the fuse if you will be towing for more than 8 hours. Otherwise you can pull over somewhere and then start up the Fit to let the alternator charge up the battery. Be sure to follow the flat towing prep information from the owner's manual prior to towing the vehicle again...

• Rhino-Rack Roof Rack Compatibility with 2 Stand Up Paddleboards on 2016 Honda Fit
• On your 2016 Honda Fit, the Rhino-Rack roof rack consisting of # RRVA118B-2, # RRRLKVA, and Fit Kit # DK438 are a confirmed fit. This rack is rated for 165 lbs and has a 29.5 inch crossbar spread. This rack will allow you to carry two paddle boards when you use an appropriate carrier. I recommend the Inno Locker Watersport Carrier w/ Crossbar Pads - Locking - Clamp On - 1 Boat or 2 Boards # INA446. This carrier has a locking design to secure your paddle boards once they are mounted...

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2016 Honda Fit for Carrying Thule Bike Rack
• The hitch I recommend for carrying a bike rack with your 2016 Honda Fit is the Draw Tite part # 24920 as unlike the Curt hitch for your vehicle # C11406 it does not require the use of a stabilizer strap when carrying a bike rack. Carrying a bike rack in this hitch would not affect your transmission at all. This hitch also comes with everything you'd need to install too. This would work well with a Thule bike rack like the Thule T2 part # TH23JV.

• Trailer Hitch, Cargo Carrier, and Cargo Bag for a 2015 Honda Fit
• The exhaust on your 2015 Honda Fit should be angled downward. If it is angled downward then it would not be a problem when carrying cargo on a cargo carrier. If it is straight then it could be a problem and I recommend a different cargo carrier, # C18110. This carrier has a rise in the shank so the carrier platform will be higher up (this also helps with ground clearance). Since you plan on using the hitch for a cargo carrier I recommend Draw-Tite hitch # 24920. The reason is that the...

• Bike Rack Similar to Swagman XTC2 that is More Stable with Less Movement
• For a very similar bike rack to the Swagman XTC2 part # S64670 that has quite a bit less movement when travelling we have the Hollywood Racks part # HR200Z. If you check out the review video you can see that it is a very stable bike rack. I looked up pictures of your bike and from what I can tell you have a standard road bike that would work well with this rack. The weight of this rack is 39 lbs. We can easily ship this to you so that you don't have to try and find it locally. It's pretty...

• Swagman 2 Bike Carrier # S64650 Recommendation for a 2008 Honda Fit
• In order to determine if this Swagman 2 Bike Carrier, part # S64650, will work on your 2008 Honda Fit that has a 1-1/4 inch hitch you will need to make one, easy measurement. You will need to measure the distance from the center of your hitch pin hole out to the furthest point on your bumper. If this measurement is less than 10-1/2 inches this rack will work for you. The reason is because the distance from the center of the hitch pin on this rack to the edge of the first wheel hoop is...

According to our flat towing authority, to be able to flat tow your Fit, you will want to follow the emergency towing instructions found in the owners manual. Honda lists specific procedures and restrictions, so it's important to follow those procedures and restrictions. If any damage were to occur due to flat towing, the warranty would be voided by...

• Platform Bike Rack Recommendation for 2011 Honda Fit
• The 2011 Honda Fit will use a Class I trailer hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver. I would certainly recommend the Swagman XC2 Wheel Mount Bike Rack, # S64650, which you referenced for your vehicle. A friend of mine has this rack on his Ford Focus and he is very happy with the ease of loading and the secure mounting system of this rack. I attached a review video and installation instructions for this rack for you to check out. A step up from the Swagman would be Thule Doubletrack Pro XT Bike...
