  • Base Plates for 2010 Honda Element EX That Are Compatible with Ready Brute Elite Tow Bar
  • The base plate I recommend for your 2010 Honda Element EX is the Blue Ox # BX2232. Our installers tend to prefer Blue Ox for their user-friendly features. Installation on a 2010 Element will require removal/replacement of the bumper fascia, some trimming of the bumper and minor drilling.

  • Recommendation For Wiring Kit When Flat Towing a 2003 Honda Element
  • For a light wiring kit when flat towing your 2003 Honda Element, I would recommend two different choices. If you do not plan on towing the vehicle often, you can use a light kit like the Roadmaster Standard Magnetic Tow Lights Item # RM-2120. If you do plan on towing it often, I recommend installing diodes using Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit, part # RM-154. With this diode kit the vehicle brake lights will function as both brake and turn lights. It will also have the diodes...

  • It looks like your 2006 Honda Element has fixed mounting points, so you'll need to make sure that the center of each mounting point is at least 28" apart to use a Roofnest Sparrow tent. For a roof rack I recommend using the Yakima Roof Rack for 2006 Honda Element that uses parts # Y00426, # Y53TR and # Y00229, which will give you a durable roof rack capable of carrying the Sparrow XL.

  • Base Plates and Equipment Needed to Flat Tow Honda Element 2003 EX Behind Motorhome

Honda lists very specific steps that must be taken before manual or automatic transmission equipped vehicles are flat towed. This information begins on page 198 of the manual.

  • Can a 2010 Honda Element EX 4WD be Flat Towed Behind an RV/Motorhome
  • According to my research, the 2010 Honda Element is flat towable as is. You will still want to consult the vehicle owners manual for any additional specific information on towing the vehicle.

Roadmaster has a large offering of tow bars as well. I have added a link to the options compatible with XL style base plates. You...

  • Recommended Hitch to Add Cargo Carrier on 2003 Honda Element

  • Is Fuse Needed on Motorhome and 2005 Honda Element for 12V Charge Line Power Circuit
  • It's a good idea to have both sides of the 12V power circuit connected so for your application I recommend using the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit # RM-156-75 which includes an auto-reset circuit breaker for your motorhome and then the fuse that comes with the Towed Vehicle Battery Charge Wire Kit # DM66VR is going to protect the battery on your 2005 Honda Element.

  • Replacement Hubs with 4 on 4 Bolt Pattern for 1" Non-Tapered Spindle on Boat Trailer with 12" Wheels
  • A non-tapered spindle with a 1.00" diameter will use an # L44643 inner and outer bearing, so you'll want to use the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles - 4 on 4 - Galvanized # AKIHUB-440-2-G-1K, which have a 4 on 4 bolt pattern and work with 12" wheels. These hubs are galvanized so they're ideal for boat trailers, have a 2000-lbs capacity and are the only available capacity that will fit on those spindles.
