Roger,

As a previous owner of a 2003 Jeep Liberty Sport 4x4, I would agree with Bill on the advisability of using your CRD to tow an Elkmont. While we had a good experience using the Liberty to tow our 2003 2720 SL for two seasons, I would not want to pull a full size unit with it. Unfortunately our Liberty was totaled (fortunately there were no serious injuries) which meant we had to find a replacement TV. As you can see by our signature, we settled on a used Ford Explorer Sport Trac, 4x4 which has a much longer wheel base. Wheel base becomes a very important factor when negotiating turns or making quick maneuvers at highway speeds. My recommendation is to look for a better suited TV if you do purchase the Elkmont.
