I was able to reach out to my tech contact over at Surco since they've launched some of these new baskets and such and they currently do not have a kit that allows you to attach the Surco # S5050 to oval/aero shaped bars. However he did mention that you could source some U-bolts that would fit your RhinoRack bars and drill some holes in the aluminum parts of the basket to attach the U-bolts to your crossbars and the Surco # S5050.
This is currently the only solution to mount a Surco rack... view full answer...
In order to determine if your 2007 Honda Fit can be flat towed behind a motor home you will want to consult the vehicle owners manual. Since you have an automatic transmission you will need to use base plates # 521558-1. Blue Ox does not have a base plate kit for the automatic transmission models. You can still use your Aventa tow bar by using adapter # BX88178.
If you need safety cables, use # RM-643. For a lighting solution I recommend kit # 154-792-118158.

I may have a solution for you, but the Curt Tow Bar with Adjustable-Width Arms - Car Mount - 2" Ball - 5,000 lbs # C19745 cannot be stored on the vehicle and there's not an available solution that would allow it to function in the manner you're seeking.
If you wanted a tow bar that is stowed on the vehicle, the Roadmaster StowMaster Tow Bar - Car Mount # RM-501 (2" hitch ball) or # RM-504 (2-5/16" hitch ball) would be the best solution. It looks like you've also got Roadmaster EZ base... view full answer...
First, be sure to consult the Fit owners manual to determine if and how your Fit should be towed. Yes there are base plates for the 2007 Honda Fit from Blue Ox but only if it is a manual transmission. You would use # BX2252. For a compatible tow bar I recommend the Avail # BX7420. It also comes with safety cables.
For a lighting solution I recommend the Roadmaster wiring harness # 154-792-118158.

I took a look at the owner's manual for a 2015 Honda Fit and it states that if the vehicle has a manual transmission it CAN be flat towed; if it has an automatic transmission it cannot be flat towed behind a motorhome.
There are a number of parts you're going to need in order to flat tow a '15 Fit with a manual transmission, starting with compatible base plates. I recommend the Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit # RM-521569-5 because the brackets will be hidden away so the Fit can maintain... view full answer...
Even if a supplemental braking system is not legally required - and it varies by state so you should contact your local authorities for a definitive answer - it is an extremely good idea that is strongly recommended because it will increase the safety of yourself and other drivers as well as reduce the amount of wear on both your Gulfstream and 2008 Honda Fit.
A supplemental system is an expense, but it is well worth it in the long run. There are other parts you can get which will reduce... view full answer...

If you have the connector behind the bumper, your Xterra could already have an active tow package. Use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 on the sockets of the existing plug to see if its functional. Have a helper activate the right turn, left turn, running lights and apply the brakes as you probe the connector. On two of the pins, you should get signal with both the turn signal and the brake lamp.
If this all checks out, all you'll need is part # 118244 which would plug directly into... view full answer...

Since you are using the 4-diode Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-154 with the SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # SM99251 on your 2012 Honda Fit, that means yes, you will also need to install the Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-88400.

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.

The Greystone Countertop Side-by-Side RV Griddle and Grill # WAY94FR does not have a cover, but the good news is that this is a smaller setup that only measures 25-3/8" wide x 20-1/2 deep x 10" tall so even if you need to keep it on your counter at home it won't take up too much space. view full answer...
From my research your 2012 Honda Fit with an automatic transmission can be flat towed. You should verify with your owner's manual just to be sure. You're going to need a tow bar, base plate kit, wiring for the Fit's lights, a supplemental braking system, and probably a high-low adapter to do it.
Base plate kits are custom designed for the vehicle. I recommend the Roadmaster, part # 521190-1, for you. It's specifically designed for your Fit and is pretty well hidden when the arms are... view full answer...
