Thank you for the diagrams and all of the info.
It actually looks like you are missing an additional 2 spacers. If you check out the attached photos you can see that the part 38 in the instructions calls for a quantity of 6 and that you put 2 on each of your 3 bolts. You place 1 on either side of the Motor for Lippert Electric Coach Step # LC301695. If you can't find the other 2 spacers we have replacements as part # LC128958 on our site. view full answer...
The first thing you need to flat tow your 2010 Honda Fit is a base plate kit like the Roadmaster EZ part # 521190-1 which is a confirmed fit.
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 All Terrain, # RM-522. This has non-binding arms which makes the setup very easy to connect/disconnect.
For lighting/safety cables, locks, and covers... view full answer...
All of the trunk mounted bike racks we carry are not recommended for the Sport models of the 2009 Honda Fit like what you have.
The best solution I could provide for you would be to get a hitch and hitch mounted bike rack. For a hitch I would recommend the EcoHitch Hitch part # 306-X7286.
The most popular bike rack that we offer that would be compatible with this hitch and your vehicle to carry 2 bikes is the Swagman XTC-2 Bike Rack part # S64670. view full answer...
The ST235/85R16 tire/wheel combo we offer that is a load range F, is a Karrier tire, mounted on a white powder coated steel rim with an 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern. This combo part number is # AM35099. This combo has a pilot diameter of 4.90 inches and has a zero offset. This is a 12 ply tire and has a maximum capacity load of 3,960 lbs at 95 psi. We do not offer the Carisle tires.

For smaller, lighter-duty vehicles like your 2015 Honda Fit we only have Class I hitches like the Draw Tite part # 24920 that you referenced. I can't imagine a Class II hitch being available or useful for your vehicle as it wouldn't be able to tow 3,500 lbs regardless of what hitch is on it.
We have trailer wiring as part # 118767 which would be a fantastic option confirmed as a fit. For a ball mount you'd then want the part # 36071 which is designed for this hitch and then for hitch balls... view full answer...

I took a look at the online version of the owner's manual for your 2019 Honda Fit and it does state on page 406 that manual transmission models can be flat towed behind a motorhome. I recommend checking your copy of the owner's manual to verify this.
To flat tow any vehicle you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter.
For a base plate kit I highly recommend the Roadmaster EZ5 # RM-521571-5 because... view full answer...
There are actually several options for carrying bikes on the 2011 Honda Fit. I recently helped someone choose a bike rack for the same vehicle. One option is to use a trunk mounted bike rack. According to Thule, there are 2 trunk mount bike rack options that will fit the 2011 Honda Fit. You could choose the OutWay # TH45JV or the Passage 2, # TH910XT.
If you ever plan on doing any sort of towing, then installing a trailer hitch, like # C11064, would be the way to go. There are numerous... view full answer...

The Thule OutWay Trunk Mounted Bike Rack part # TH45JV is a fit for the 2020 Honda Fit models LX and Sport and would be a really great choice overall. This is widely considered to be one of the best trunk racks out there so you'd be really happy with it.

Yes, the Hollywood Racks Over the Top Trunk Rack part # HRF2-3 is a 3 bike rack confirmed as a fit for your 2013 Honda Fit and would be a great option. I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well.

I looked up pictures of your 2012 Honda Fit Sport and the top spoiler would make attaching the stabilizer strap # 18050 not as easy as on vehicles without the spoiler.
The best option would be to install a hitch on your vehicle that does not require the strap like the EcoHitch part # 306-X7286. Only Curt has the stabilizer requirement when using a non-supported load like a bike rack or cargo carrier so ideally the EcoHitch hitch would be your best option. It also has the more popular... view full answer...
Because there are no trunk fits for the Sport models of the 2012 Honda Fit you would have to go with a hitch option. Which the hitch route is better all around anyway as it provides a more secure install point for the bike rack and it won't touch the painted surfaces of your vehicle.
The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Thule Camber 2 part # TH9058. We asked our demo and install guys to name their favorite, most easy-to-use bike racks and... view full answer...
Curt recommends the stabilizer strap with non-supported loads like bike racks to help support the hitch when going over bumps to prevent some of the vertical shock from being transferred to the hitch.
Curt does this as a precaution, it's not that Draw Tite or Hidden Hitch are stronger. Both hitch brands make outstanding hitches that are typically stronger than what they are rated for. I would say that Curt just happens to approach the idea of a bike rack/cargo carrier being used in a lower... view full answer...
The plastic roofline spoiler on the 2012 Honda Fit Sport makes trunk-mount bike racks a bad option since this vehicle feature is likely to be damaged by the weight of a loaded bike rack. The excellent Thule OutWay 2-Bike Platform Rack # TH65JV without bikes on it weighs about 28-lbs. Load two typical 30-lb bikes and you see what I mean about the load that spoiler.
For your Fit Sport the only good bike carrier option is a hitch mount type which of course requires you to bolt a hitch onto... view full answer...
It is possible that you would need an adapter bar such as # 64005 to secure an alternative frame bike to the Swagman XTC bike carrier # S64670. If it is a traditional girls bike with a slanted top frame tube then it would not be a problem and you would not need an adapter. But if it is a deep step through style frame then you likely would need an adapter.
The best option for a trailer hitch for your 2010 Honda Fit Sport to carry bikes is going to be Hidden hitch # 306-X7286. The Hidden... view full answer...
I've never heard of not being able to remove the Allen bolt for the Swagman XC2 Bike Rack # S64650. The rack should have come with two wrenches, one of which is for that bolt. Some people have said that they can be tight, so the only advice I can give is that some old-fashioned elbow grease should do the trick. I would not worry at all about stripping the bolt, that wouldn't happen simply by removing it. view full answer...
