To flat tow your 2013 CR-V behind your motorhome you're going to need quite a bit of stuff.
To start off you'll need a base plate kit # BX2258, which will install onto your CR-V and provides a mounting point for a set of tow bars # e47ZR.
Next, you're going to need a braking system # BLU37TR with the 12 volt outlet kit # RM-9332. This part is pretty self explanatory, it's just a braking system meant to stop your towed vehicle in proportion with your motorhome.
Finally, you'll need a wiring harness # RM-15267 and the fuse bypass # RM76511. All this harness does is, provide your towed vehicle with your RV's tail, brake, and turn signal lights.
The fuse bypass is needed because your vehicle requires you to pull a fuse prior to towing, so instead of having to pull and replace the fuse every time you tow, you can just use this bypass which lets you do that easily with a flip of a switch.
