We can get your 2019 Honda CR-V set up with a hitch and the necessary wiring, and you will need a 7-way in order to add electric brakes and use the Curt Echo brake controller. You'll actually need both a 4-way (for the trailer lighting functions) and will plug that into the 7-way, which gives you the needed wiring for the electric brakes. Let's go ahead and start with the hitch and wiring:

- Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13397

- T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118741

- 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit for Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 12 Gauge Wires # ETBC7L

- Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # C51180

You will first install the 4-flat, which will activate your trailer's lighting functions, and you'll then plug that into the 7-way that comes with the # ETBC7L, which gives you the rest of the hardware needed for installation of the Echo brake controller.

That takes care of your 2019 CR-V, and in regards to brakes for your Livin Lite Quicksilver 10.0 pop-up camper, you'll need to ensure you have two things - a 4-bolt brake mounting flange (which is just a flange on the end of the axle with four bolt holes) and that your hub and drum measures 7" in diameter. It should but sometimes parts can get switched out so you'll definitely want to verify. If so, here is what you will need for the brakes:

- Electric Trailer Brake Kit - 7" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 2,000 lbs # AKEBRK-2

- Mounting Hardware for 7" Brake Assemblies # BRKH7

- Brake Adjustment Spoon for Drum Brakes # W80630

Finally, if your camper does not already set up with a 7-way to accept electric brakes, you will need a number of parts to make that happen: Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connectors # DW05745-10, Deka Jacketed 2 Wire, 10 Gauge, Brake Wire # 10-2-1 (sold per foot), Bright Way Push-to-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit # 3802346, Trailer Wiring Junction Box # 3375601100, Trailer End 7-Way - 8' # H20046 or 6' # H20044.
