Expert Reply:
What you'll need is a long 4-way extension spliced into the 4-way you have at the back of the RV. For that you'd want to use the part # HM48235 which is 120 inches long. You'd need to cut off the one end and then use quick splice connectors like # SWC501746-1 to connect to the RV wiring. This will allow the 4-way to operate the CR-V taillights and then you'd be able to route the jumper wire to the back of the CR-V where you can then plug it into your trailer.
