While I can't speak for how others found something, I can tell you that I Googled "2012 Honda Fit owner's manual" which took me to the online manual for the 2012 Honda Fit. I then found on page 159 it states, "Your vehicle can be towed behind a motorhome" which outlines the procedures to do so for both automatic and manual transmission models. We do always recommend verifying on your end, however. That said, here are all the parts needed to flat tow your automatic transmission 2012 Honda... view full answer...
I looked up the online version of the owner's manual for your 2009 Honda Fit and it says on page 238 that you can flat tow your Honda Fit. I recommend taking a look in your copy of the owner's manual to confirm this and to follow any specific instructions for flat towing.
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.

The Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX2266 has a bracket height of 13" after it's installed on your 2018 Honda Fit.
Since your RV hitch height is 15-1/2" this puts your connection within the 3" Safe Zone of most tow bars like the Blue Ox Avail # BX7420 so you actually don't need a high-low adapter.

I believe you are asking for a bracket seat adapter for the Roadmaster BrakeMaster System w BrakeAway for RVs w Air or Air Over Hydraulic Brakes # RM-9160. If this is what you are referring to, I confirmed with Roadmaster that the adapter you need for your 2007 Honda Fit is the RoadMaster BrakeMaster Custom Seat Adapter # RM-88264. view full answer...
To install Roadmaster base plates # 521558-1, trimming of spoiler, air dam, grille or plastic fascia may be required on some models of the 2007 Honda Fit. On the frame, at most there will be some drilling required. The 521557-1 kit that mentioned is designed to fit the Civic, not the Fit.
In addition to the base plates you will also need a tow bar. The most popular tow bar option for the EZ style base plates is the Falcon 2, # RM-520. You will also need safety cables like # RM-643. You... view full answer...
I was able to reach out to my tech contact over at Surco since they've launched some of these new baskets and such and they currently do not have a kit that allows you to attach the Surco # S5050 to oval/aero shaped bars. However he did mention that you could source some U-bolts that would fit your RhinoRack bars and drill some holes in the aluminum parts of the basket to attach the U-bolts to your crossbars and the Surco # S5050.
This is currently the only solution to mount a Surco rack... view full answer...
Since you are using the 4-diode Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-154 with the SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # SM99251 on your 2012 Honda Fit, that means yes, you will also need to install the Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-88400.
I've added a link to a video review and install of this kit for you to check out as well. view full answer...
The Draw-Tite Sportframe # 24920 is confirmed to fit your 2017 Honda Fit and will work well for you. You can also use the Brophy # HTAD.
Then you will be able to install the Malone Load Extender # MPG907. You'll also need to be mindful that the adapter will decrease the hitch's tongue weight capacity by 50 percent. So at the most your tongue weight will be 100 pounds. And the weight of the load extender will take up some of this. So you'll need to be careful you're not overloading... view full answer...
Even if a supplemental braking system is not legally required - and it varies by state so you should contact your local authorities for a definitive answer - it is an extremely good idea that is strongly recommended because it will increase the safety of yourself and other drivers as well as reduce the amount of wear on both your Gulfstream and 2008 Honda Fit.
A supplemental system is an expense, but it is well worth it in the long run. There are other parts you can get which will reduce... view full answer...
First, be sure to consult the Fit owners manual to determine if and how your Fit should be towed. Yes there are base plates for the 2007 Honda Fit from Blue Ox but only if it is a manual transmission. You would use # BX2252. For a compatible tow bar I recommend the Avail # BX7420. It also comes with safety cables.
For a lighting solution I recommend the Roadmaster wiring harness # 154-792-118158.

Hopefully I can clear some confusion up for you. So what I think is happening is you're looking at two-different things for the same rack.
The Kuat NV 2.0 Base 2-Bike Platform Rack - 1-1/4" Hitches # BA12B you're looking at has a capacity of 60-lbs per bike and will work with both class I & II 1-1/4" hitches.
There is also a 4-bike version # BA22B-BA02B that is only going to work with 2" hitches and has a 60-lbs per bike capacity when used as a two-bike carrier, or a 40-lbs per bike capacity... view full answer...
Officially, Honda states that the Honda Fit should not be flat towed, however, it is possible and there are many people that flat tow their Honda Fits. According to our flat towing authority, Remco Towing, to flat tow your Honda Fit, you will want to follow the emergency towing instructions found in the owners manual. Honda lists specific procedures and restrictions, so it is important to follow those if you choose to tow your Fit. Keep in mind, if any damage were to occur due to flat towing,... view full answer...
The Greystone Countertop Side-by-Side RV Griddle and Grill # WAY94FR does not have a cover, but the good news is that this is a smaller setup that only measures 25-3/8" wide x 20-1/2 deep x 10" tall so even if you need to keep it on your counter at home it won't take up too much space. view full answer...
If you have the connector behind the bumper, your Xterra could already have an active tow package. Use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 on the sockets of the existing plug to see if its functional. Have a helper activate the right turn, left turn, running lights and apply the brakes as you probe the connector. On two of the pins, you should get signal with both the turn signal and the brake lamp.
If this all checks out, all you'll need is part # 118244 which would plug directly into... view full answer...
Since you already have the base plates, tow bar, safety cables, and lights, you will only need one more item to complete the towing set up of your 2012 Honda Fit.
Most states now require supplemental braking on the vehicle being flat towed. The easiest system to set up and use is the Even Brake # RM-9400 which is a proportional system. It applies the vehicle brakes in proportion to how much the motor home is braking. This is the safest way to stop and it reduces wear and tear on both... view full answer...
When it comes to deciding if any given vehicle can safely be flat towed with all wheels down that determination goes to the vehicle's manufacturer. I reviewed the online version of the owner's manual for the 2015 Honda Fit EX-L and in the section titled Emergency Towing there is a statement on page 428 that says "...towing behind a motorhome or other motor vehicle can damage the transmission." No mention is made if this refers to all versions or only to versions with the automatic transmission.... view full answer...
While we do have equipment you can install on your 2016 Honda Fit to tow a trailer there are a few things we need to note first; the max towing capacity will be 2,000 lbs for any of the hitches that fit your vehicle (so you'll need to check the weight of your jet skis), and the online version of your owner's manual says not to tow with your vehicle. Should you choose to still do so here is what you need:
Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - # C11406

You are correct, the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, item # 118420, is designed to tow a trailer with your Fit, not to tow the Fit behind a motorhome. The # 118420 harness will not work for towing the Fit, so you will need a different wiring harness altogether.
There are several options for tow bar wiring for the 2010 Honda Fit. Blue Ox recommends their Bulb and Socket Tail Light Wiring Kit, item # BX8869. I like this kit because it keeps the RV wiring completely separate from the Dinghy... view full answer...
Yes, I can help. You will need the Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit, item # 521190-1, for your 2011 Honda Fit Sport. This bracket kit is designed to fit all models of the 2011 Honda Fit.
Along with the bracket kit you will need a set of car side quick disconnects, item # RM-222, if you did not retain them from your 2003 Suzuki for the the tow bar.
You will also need wiring for the Fit. I would recommend using the RoadMaster Tail Light Wiring Kit with Bulbs, item # RM-155, to keep the lighting... view full answer...
We have everything that you will need to flat tow your 2010 Honda Fit with automatic transmission behind your Class A Winnebago Journey 34.
