How do you tow a 2005 Honda CR-V behind a motorhome?

Answer 1

Is it an automatic or a standard shift? These are the instructions I got from Honda Motors Customer Service line for an AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION model - - - If you are towing with the front(drive) wheels up ON A TOW DOLLY - nothing special is necessary - UNLESS you have an AWD model - then, make sure the differential fluid for the rear axle is completely topped off. If you are towing with all 4 WHEELS DOWN - - Start the vehicle and move the shift lever through all gears, pausing for a moment in each position. Return the lever to 'neutral' and shut the vehicle off. You will have to LEAVE THE IGNITION UN-LOCKED, so that the front wheels will follow the tow vehicle around corners. At the end of the day (or every 500 miles), start the vehicle and run through the gear positions (as above). This procedure ensures that sufficient fluid will remain in the shifting bands to prevent them running dry. STANDARD SHIFT models: Nothing special necessary except to make sure the tranmsission is in 'neutral' and that the transmission and differential fluids are topped off. AGAIN: Remember to leave the ignition un-locked!
