Looking for a small trailer
Hello, We are a family of 3 (myself, my wife and a 1.5 yo daughter) are looking for a used ( 2-5 yo) lightweight trailer for a cross country trip this coming summer. We will be towing with a 2006...

Check out the KZ Spree Escape 196S. It has a queen bed, bunks and dinette skide with a GVWR of 3,500 lbs. My wife's Pilot pulled it fine.
And unfortunately very little CCC, typical when the maufacturer artificially attempts to keep the trailer's GVWR no greater than 3500 lbs.
Sure, but the OP will have to compromise given the tow vehicle. Also, belive it or not, it's entirely possible to go camping without thousands of pounds of stuff.
Our KZ Sportsmen Classic 170 has about 900 lbs of payload. We are loaded with chair, pie-irons, grilling grates, electric griddle, spare camp stove, laterns, packed kitchen, etc...I take what I need with no fear. Last weigh in...3200 leaving me 300 to spare.
I think the spree196s (because of the slide) is in the 500-600lb neighborhood. Very doable for a small family. My BIL rented one...he had an 8 yr old at the time of the trip. His wife packs EVERYTHING for that boy (afraid he might get bored). They were still under weight.
