As I stated before......it is well worth your time to get your entire rig weighed.

Tow rating means little on most vehicles. I believe that your GCWR (this is the max weight that your Ridgeline is rated to handle, including passengers, cargo, fuel and fully loaded trailer) is a little over 10K#. My guess is that your rig may be very close to that when fully loaded for camping. It may not be too.....you just don't know what you don't know.

Your original post seemed to indicate that you are concerned about over-heating. Knowing the weight of your combined rig may go a long way toward helping you understand why that may be.
