That is an excellent question. The difference between a trailer wiring harness like the Curt # C55106 and a flat tow wiring harness like the Hopkins # HM56300 (similar to the Curt you mentioned) for your 2011 Honda CR-V is that the trailer wiring harness sends power to trailer lights while the flat tow harness receives power from your motorhome. So even though they connect to the same circuits, they serve different purposes so they aren't interchangeable.
For a complete flat towing setup you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. If you do not have all of these components just let me know and I can make some additional recommendations for you.
