I have an '03 Honda CRV 2.4 and we are about to buy a camper trailer - Jayco Swift Tourer.
CRV has:
- 1200kg Towing Capacity (fitted with rake controller)
- Hayman Reese Tow bar fitted with a rating of 1500kg
Jayco:
- weighs 812kg "Dry"
- needs 62kg tow ball weight
I guess the first question would be has anyone towed such trailer or weight with their CRV? I know that the trailer is way less than the towing capacity of the CRV but my concern is that my V is old already and just a 4-cyl. Does anyone reckon it wouldn't have a problem or am I taking a risk? I have contacted Hayman too about the towbar in my vehicle and the ball weight is usually 10% of the tow rate so it would be 150kg.
Appreciate your thoughts on my CRV towing the Jayco.
Cheers!
