First thing you'll need to tow a trailer with your 2018 Honda CR-V is a trailer hitch. For that the etrailer hitch part # E98848 is the best option. It's a USA made hitch with a 2 inch opening, plenty of capacity, and only the hitch tube is visible so it's mostly out of plain sight.

Next for trailer wiring I recommend the Tekonsha kit # 118741 which is very easy to install and comes with a very reliable converter box.

Since you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level
