Parts Needed To Flat-Tow a 2013 Honda CR-V
Question:
Hello, I have a 2015 Jayco Redhawk Class C Motorhome and want to flat tow a 2013 Honda CRV-EX. I believe I need a tow bar, base plate, brake system and maybe wiring. I tried to research online but had a hard time finding all the parts that are compatibile. Also this is only for 5-8 trips a year so I only need middle of the range gear. Are you able to give me some suggestions of the best setup for me? Thanks in advance,
