Years ago we did a bit of pop up camping and as the kids got older got away from it. Now being empty nesters we are taking a different view of travel. I was intrigued when I stumbled across TM and being able to use a smaller vehicle to have the comfort of a full size trailer.

After looking around TM I actually think that the Elkmont fits our needs better than the traditional TM fold down. I looked through some of the towing posts here and it seems that even though the gross weight and hitch weight might be within spec, it still might not be a comfortable haul. We have a Acura MDX, weight limit 5,000 lbs and hitch 500. Am I being too ambitious thinking I can haul an Elkmont? The vehicle has a 300 HP 6. Thanks for your thoughts.
