I had a fabricator fabricate and install a hitch for my Lexus SC430 hardtop convertible. I got the hitch primarily for a carrier, but also to tow a motorcycle where the bike and trailer weigh around 1,000 pounds. The fabricator said 2,000 pounds would be no problem for the hitch. I think the car would be more comfortable with around 1,000 pounds, and an empty back seat to compensate for the tongue weight.
An Aliner sport looks like it would fit the bill almost perfectly. Lightweight, low and hard sided with heat, air and gas fridge. I like hard sides because I like to boondock in route while traveling long distances.
Are there any other options? Aliners are expensive and hard to find. Teardrops are too high and would have too much wind resistance.
If you do an online search for "A frame pop up campers" several brands are listed including Chalet and Forest River Rockwood. RVTrader.com has some used ones listed.
