Bill is right about the Vinyl panel hanging down. It simply wasn't in place for the photo. You might want to consider how big of a TM you want to tow with an SUV that is only rated at 5,000 lbs. towing capacity. This is just my opinion, but I personally wouldn't exceed 50% of my rated towing capacity with the "dry" weight of the camper.
In my case I'm towing a 2720 with an empty weight of about 2700# with a V6 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 that is rated for 6500#. I know from my experience that, by the time I am loaded up with everything in and on the camper and in and on the truck, that I will be near the limit of practicality.

Others will certainly have different opinions.
