Expert Answers about Honda CR-V


  • Wiring Umbilical Included With Roadmaster # RM-576 Sterling Tow Bar
  • The Roadmaster Sterling All Terrain Towbar, part # RM-576 includes a female 6-pin plug that would mount to the vehicle being flat towed, so the 6-way umbilical included with the Sterling tow bar would work great for your 2014 CR-V. The wire is 78 inches long, which should be plenty long enough so that no extensions should be needed. The Sterling tow bar provides a channel on the tow bar for the wire to run through, for a clean look and to also provide protection for the wiring. I'll link...

  • Will the Curt Hitch C12169 for a 2018 Honda CR-V Affect Fuel Economy
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C12169 which is a fit for your 2018 Honda CR-V weighs around 25 lbs. In theory, the more weight you add to a vehicle, the less miles per gallon (MPG's) it will have but we are talking extremely small fractions here and you would by no means notice any drop in MPG's. The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 36597 which is also a fit for your 2018 Honda CR-V is a few lbs lighter but I would not let this alone be the basis for my choice as the affect...

  • Can A 2015 Honda CRV Pull A 5 x 10 Trailer
  • Yes, as long as you do not exceed the gross towing capacity of your 2015 Honda CRV. The tow rating of the vehicle can be found in your owners manual. I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" Item # 75742. This hitch is a class III hitch with a 675lb tongue weight and a 4500lb gross towing weight. For your wiring I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector Item # 118561. This harness is a simple plug in instillation...

  • What Grille Guard do You Recommend for My 2004 Honda CR-V?
  • Yes, you are correct that customized grille guards are manufactured specifically for each year/make/model of vehicle. Unfortunately, the closest thing we carry to a traditional grille guard for your 2004 Honda CR-V is the Westin Safari Light Mounting Bar with Installation Kit - 2" Tubing # 30-0020-1235 (polished stainless steel) and # 30-0025-1235 (black powder coated steel).

  • How is Performance Tool Hidden Travel Blanket Powered
  • Good catch; the Heated Travel Blanket with Built In Timer - 3 Heat Settings - 12-Volt # PT37ZR is only powered from the DC accessory 12 volt outlet in your vehicle, it is not powered by a USB port, and doesn't have that capability. Once it's plugged in it'll keep you super warm though with three different heat settings so you'll be nice and cozy.

  • Can I Flat-Tow My 2012 Honda CR-V EX with 2-Wheel Drive?
  • Yes! I confirmed with your Honda owner's manual that you can flat-tow your 2-wheel drive 2012 Honda CR-V EX. In order to have a complete setup, you need a base plate, a tow bar, a tow braking system, safety cables, vehicle tow wiring, and fuse bypasses. For a list of recommended parts, I suggest the following setup: - etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # e98955 - Falcon All-Terrain Tow Bar # RM-522 - Blue Ox Safety Cables # BX88196 - Brake Buddy Classic 3 # HM39494 -...

  • Benefits Of Using A Class III Hitch For A 2014 Honda CR-V
  • The main reason you would use a class III hitch like the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75742 you referenced is because, the 2" x 2" receiver opening featured on a class III hitch is the most common size for hitch mounted accessories like the Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack # TH83JV, and will give you more options versus a class I hitch. However, you can still absolutely use a class I hitch like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11555.

  • What are the Two Smaller Holes for on the Roadmaster Base Plate Kit # 1528-3
  • The smaller holes on the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # 1528-3 are there to padlock the arms to prevent theft. If you need a padlock, I recommend the Master Lock Covered Solid Body Padlocks - 1/4" Shackle Diameter (2 Pack) # 141T. I recommend this lock set because it has the vinyl covering that will protect it under your vehicle.

  • What to Do with Drawbars When not Towing
  • I see no reason why storing the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit, # RM-521567-5 on the Roadmaster Nighthawk, # RM-677 would cause issue. I wouldn't drive the motorhome as such, but while in RV Park should be just fine.

  • Will MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent # MA00-05100K Let In a Lot of Light
  • The MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent # MA00-05100K will let in more light than your AC unit did but not as much as a more traditional model such as # V2094SP-28. One thing is for sure: you will have more light with a roof vent/fan than you do with your AC up there!

  • Why Do Class III Hitches for 2018 Honda CR-V That Exceeds Vehicle's Towing Capacity
  • Good question. There's a very good reason for that. Many if not most folks who purchase a hitch for a smaller vehicle like your CR-V don't use the hitch for towing, but as an attachment point for hitch mounted accessories like bike racks or cargo carriers. Because there's a much larger selection of accessories available for the more common 2 inch receiver, we will typically recommend going that route versus a 1-1/4 inch receiver, if the option is available. There's usually not a big price...

  • Can 2019 Honda Fit Be Towed on Tow Dolly
  • According to information found in the owner's manual and online, automatic transmission equipped 2019 Fit models can't be flat towed, but can be pulled using a tow dolly like the Roadmaster # RM-2050-1. It would also be acceptable to pull the vehicle on a flat bed trailer. I've linked to a product demonstration video for the # RM-2050-1 Tow Dolly.

  • How to Know When Blank Tank is Full When Using Flush King Reverse Flush Valve
  • Thank you for the photo, and there should be sensors with a monitor for your tank that tells you how full it is in order to use the Flush Valve for RV Holding Tanks and Sewer Hoses # F02-4350. If you don't have that, you can still use the Flush Valve # F02-4350 but you'll want to be sure to limit the water flow going in so you don't have a real mess. But really, this is best used with black water tanks that have monitors which tell you how full it is. This will work for you unless your...

  • What is the Ground Clearance for the etrailer Hitch on a 2022 Honda CR-V
  • We have not had a chance to install the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98848 on a 2022 Honda CR-V yet, but we have installed it on a similar 2021 Honda CR-V. The measurement from the ground to the lowest point on the receiver was right at 11-3/4", I have included a video that shows this measurement at about the 2:50 mark of the video. It also includes a couple other measurements you may find useful. Since your 2022 CR-V uses the same receiver it will more than likely still be the same...

  • Is the Swagman Current Bike Rack Stable When Installed in Hitch
  • While I appreciate your suggestion of ranking it on a scale from 1 to 10, that's not really the best way to do it because some bike racks come with an anti-rattle feature and some do not. Racks with an anti-rattle feature, such as the Swagman, are simply designed to be a 10 from manufacturers and the Current is no different. The Swagman Current # S64678 will fit snugly in a 1-1/4 inch hitch and be a very stable and secure way for you to carry your bikes.

  • What is the Difference between the SuperSprings Coil Insert # CSS-1125 and # CSS-1125R
  • The SuperSprings Coil Spring Inserts, # CSS-1125 and # CSS-1125R, are the same exact part and both will fit your 2011 Honda CR-V EX-L. The actual part number from SuperSprings is CSS-1125, but we put an R or an F on the end of the part numbers for these products to indicate if it is used for Rear coils springs or Front coil springs on a particular vehicle. For example, on your CR-V, these springs are used on the rear coil springs, so we put an R at the end of the part number. These springs...

  • Why Doesnt The Brake Output Pin Have Power On A Motorhome 7-Way
  • Unless you had a brake controller installed in your motorhome the Curt 7-Way to RV Socket LED Circuit Tester # C66NR would not pick up the brake signal from the 7-way. With no brake controller there's no power running to the brake output pin on the 7-way. The Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR you're using has an internal inertia sensor that requires your motorhome and towed vehicle to be moving in order to activate. If you're wanting to test the system to make sure it activates then you'll just...
