For a 3-bike trunk mount bike carrier the best option is going to be the Thule OutWay # TH56BV. I have an older version of this carrier and it is by far the best trunk mount carrier I have ever used.
The 2 retractable cables make installation quick and easy compared to other carriers that use 6 straps. The cables are also more durable and the slack is stored inside the carrier. This carrier also features the latest and greatest in cradle technology to better protect the bike frames. And... view full answer...
According to the owner's manual for your 2015 Honda Fit, if you have a manual transmission then you can tow the vehicle behind a motorhome. If the vehicle will be in tow for more than 8 hours then you are going to need to remove a few fuses even if a battery charger is installed. The correct fuses to remove will be located on page 309 and page 310 in your owner's manual. You can use part # RM76512 and part # RM76511 to eliminate manually pulling the fuses each and every time.

Since your 2019 Honda Fit has the spoiler at the top of the rear hatch you either need to install a hitch for your bikes or you need to use a roof style rack. If you were to use a trunk rack it would unfortunately damage the spoiler.
Normally I would recommend going with a hitch option since it will be easier to get the bikes loaded and unloaded, but since aesthetics are important to you, I recommend using the SeaSucker Mini Bomber MAX Bike Rack w/ Axle Adapters for 2 Bikes # SEA87VR.

We do not have a comprehensive vehicle list available but we do have a great article on the best and most popular vehicles to flat tow behind an RV, which I have attached below.
One of the most popular vehicles to flat tow is the Jeep Wrangler. This is due in large part to its general adventurous nature, modest size, and the fact that both the manual and automatic transmission models can be pulled with all 4 wheels on the ground.
When going through the process of selecting a new vehicle... view full answer...
For your 2009 Honda Fit, I have two great bike rack options for you; the Thule Camber 2 Bike Rack part # TH9058 and the Thule Doubletrack Pro XT Bike Rack part # TH92BJ. These racks will both allow for rear cargo access with the bikes removed. The best one for you will depend on what type of bikes you have.
If you have any alternative frame bikes you will want to go with the Thule Doubletrack so you don't have to use an adapter bar but if you do not have any alternative frame bikes then... view full answer...

Honda states that your 2019 Honda Fit was not designed to tow a trailer so the ideal trailer size would be probably a hitch mounted cargo carrier like the Curt # C18145 with a hitch like the part # 24920 from Draw Tite. I recommend this hitch over the Curt hitch as it does not require the use of a stabilizer strap when carrying a non-supported load like a cargo carrier like the Curt requires.
I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well. view full answer...
Since you don't have a trailer hitch installed, a trunk mount bike rack would be your best bet, as long as your Fit isn't a Sport model.
For a good, basic bike rack capable of carrying two bikes, you can't go wrong with the Thule Passage, part # TH910XT. The Passage provided what I consider essential features like sturdy padded cradles that use rubber straps to hold the bikes securely. Anti-sway cradles also grip the bike on the seat post tube, preventing the bikes from swaying back and... view full answer...
We have base plate kits for your 2007 Honda Fit like the Roadmaster part # 521558-1 which is a confirmed fit but none that will work with a Towmatic tow bar. We have tow bars and other components that would work well though.
In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon 2, # RM-520. For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design... view full answer...
Trailer wiring harness # C56011 does NOT fit the 2016 Honda Fit. The 2016 models require a hardwire system. You can use the ZCI harness # 119250KIT. This harness requires a power wire to the battery and has connectors that clamp around the vehicle tail light wires, so you don't have to do any splicing. view full answer...
The weight of a bike rack is not factored into whether or not it can be used in a Class I trailer hitch. The issue is how long the bike rack shank is from the center of the pin hole to the near end of the shank.
A Class I hitch will have a stop inside the shank to prevent Class II accessories from being used. This is a safety feature designed to prevent users from accidently overloading a Class I hitch.
On hitch # 24920 you can't see the stop from the outside but if you look down the... view full answer...
The SportRack Frontier Semi-Custom Roof Rack # SR1002 that you referenced will not need the short roof adapter to install on your 2009 Honda Fit. Your vehicle has a long enough roof for that not to be necessary. view full answer...
I do have a solution for you, however the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 Bike Carrier # HRF2 referenced in your question is not confirmed to fit your 2013 Honda Fit Sport. There is actually not a trunk-mounted bike rack available that will work with your Sport model Honda Fit. It looks like the Sport model features a slightly different rear design and spoiler that prevents a trunk-mount option from safely attaching to the vehicle.

For your 2007 Honda Fit Sport, I recommend the Draw-Tite Class I Sport Frame Receiver Hitch # 24776. This Class I hitch is confirmed to fit your vehicle and will provide a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening and a tongue weight capacity of 200 pounds. I recommend this over the Curt model also confirmed to fit your vehicle because unlike Curt, Draw-Tite does not require the use of stabilizing straps like # 18050 with non-trailer loads such as bike racks and cargo carriers.

Roadmaster makes two different style of base plate kits that fit your 2019 Honda Fit. The crossbar style part # RM-521571-4 and the direct connect style part # RM-521571-5 that does not use a crossbar.
It's really a preference thing as they both work really well. The direct connect kit has one less thing to install when connecting since it does not require the crossbar and in general is a bit easier and simpler to use so it's what I prefer. The crossbar style is a style that Roadmaster... view full answer...
You'll want a set of magnetic tow lights like the # TL21RK which will mount on the rear of the 2018 Honda Fit. Then the 4-way of this kit would plug into the 4-way of your tow vehicle.
If your tow vehicle has a 7-way in use currently you'd need the part # C55384 to splice in an additional 4-way. view full answer...
According to the Owner's Manual, the 2017 Honda Fit is towable behind a motorhome if it has the manual transmission. The Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) model cannot be flat towed.
The base plate that I recommend for the Honda Fit is the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX2261. The Blue Ox base plate is a custom fit piece that is hidden beneath the vehicle's body. Blue Ox also provides all the hardware needed.
Blue Ox does state that the bumper fascia will have to be removed and some... view full answer...
For a trailer hitch fit for your 2007 Honda Fit, I recommend part # 24776 from Draw-Tite. Curt also has a hitch available for a Fit, but will only fit the 5 door Sport models.
The hitches available for the Fit, since it is so small, are all Class I hitches. That being the case, you will need to select a bike rack that will fit Class I hitches. I have added a link to all the Class I bike racks below. You can use the filters on the top and side of the page to narrow down your results.

The Blue Ox Patriot Radio Frequency, Portable Braking System # BLU37TR is set at a Force setting of 5 from the factory. I reached out to the manufacturer about a recommendation when being used with your 2013 Honda Fit and they recommended dialing it back to a 2 or 3.
It is a good idea to test the system out before traveling as well. Take your motorhome and Honda Fit to a large open area and test the Force setting. Set the Force to 2 or 3 and test the brakes and adjust up or down from there... view full answer...
