I'm looking to purchase a Scamp 13' towable camper trailer w/ a dry weight of 1,200. lbs. Anyone here ever pull a Scamp or something in similar weight? I've got a 2008 5 speed w/ towing capacity of 2000 ibs. I know I can't do the rockies or anything extreme but would it be okay on relatively flat terrain?

 

The Scamp looks pretty aero-friendly but I'd be apprehensive. Unfortunately I can't point you in the correct direction for calculating drag, but I do think it's what needs to be considered. One super rough approximation i found online was that for every foot a trailer extends beyond the height of the vehicle, add 1,000lbs.

I believe the car could pull it, but the fit already gets pushed around by gusts on the freeway.

Oh I didn't eve think about the drag ....appreciate you mentioning that and certainly I need to consider that.
