Anyone towing a Honda HR-V?

WE are considering the 6 spd manual which is Honda approved for flat towing.

Anyone with experience with this dinghy?

From 2017 Manual
Towing Behind a Motorhome
Models with continuously variable transmission Your vehicle is not designed to be towed behind a motorhome. If your vehicle needs to be towed in an emergency, refer to the emergency towing information.
Models with manual transmission Your vehicle can be towed behind a motorhome. Perform the following procedure before towing your vehicle: 1. Shift to Neutral. 2. Release the parking brake. 3. Turn the ignition switch (or power mode) to ACCESSORY. Make sure the steering wheel does not lock. 4. Turn off all electrical devices. Do not use any accessory power sockets. This can prevent the battery from running down.

Glad to hear Honda has approved the manual trans models for 2017. If it tows like my 2013 CRV it will be a great toad! Dick

What year HRV? In 2016 Honda did not approve any vehicles for 4 down towing. Not sure about 2015 or 2017. Dick
