towed home with no problems
Thanks to everyone for all the advice and comments.
The TM is now home in Md, and we're now "seasoned TM campers", I guess, since we took our time and made a camping trip of the journey back, staying at beach resorts in Florida, South Carolina and Virginia. That's almost 1000 miles of towing with the RX300. The TM towed like it wasn't there at 65 to 70mph and we got almost 16mpg (would have been about 22/23mpg without the trailer). Used a WDH to mitigate the tongue weight, and used the "power" instead of the economy setting on the transmission which seemed to take care of shifting out of overdrive when needed.
Did very well on the hills of Virginia Interstate 95, but got the feeling more mountainous terrrain might be a struggle. Temperature gauge never budged from center despite outside temperatures in the high 90's.
