I have a couple of great options for you but unfortunately all of our platform racks will block the license plate and rear view camera when bikes are loaded.
The bike rack that I would recommend for your 2018 Honda CR-V are the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # KU74FR. It has a very low profile and will allowing you to see bit more out of your review camera than you would with other bike racks. This bike rack will allow you to tilt it away in order to gain rear hatch access.
The Kuat Sherpa 2.0 # SH22G is also a great bike rack with the same features, it just has a more stout design to it.
We have the Yakima PlateMate License Plate Holder for Bike Racks # Y02713 to relocate your license plate and attach it to your bike rack.
