We towed a spree escape, 14rb, smaller and lighter (2200 dry) than yours with a Chevy Equinox, same tow rating. It was just ok, its what we had at the time. We travelled all the way from Ontario through the Adirondacks, Vermont, Mass and Quebec. The only time it felt sketchy was leaving Vermont during the start of the Hurricane with high winds and lots of water on the road. You could feel what one of the earlier posters talked about, less grip because of the front wheel drive. The next year we upgraded to a small pick up with 5500 tow rating and it was night and day different. So from experience , I would say going in, if you have no intention of trading your tow vehicle, I would not chose that travel trailer. We knew we were going to get a new vehicle when we got the trailer. Try a tear drop, or A Liner or fibreglass would be my suggestion.
PS I would not feel confident in a tent trailer with my Jack Russell, if he smelled or heard an animal, racoon, skunk, whatever, he would do his best to find a way out as well. He is a great little camping dog, but you can never train that instinct out of them so always on a lead or inside if we are.
