At that price, added to fuel costs over time, a trailer starts to 
make a lot more sense.  

Is the CRV too tall to use an outrigger bar?  I've just made one for 
Amie and it cost me less than $10.  I used some aluminum angle and an 
old hockey stick that I found to make it.  The cost is for nuts and 
bolts, paint and such.
