@poppin Good point. I should note the specs of the Keystone that is their top/only pick thus far:
-Length = 21'3"
-Tanks = 43 gal fresh + 38 gal gray + 38 gal black
-Primarily towed by V8 Tundra, I believe, but in an ideal world an Acura MDX would also tow it
That sounds like the new Passport 175BH. It's a neat little unit, but it has some big drawbacks being so small (no bathroom sink?). Surprisingly the gray and black tank in that little trailer are slightly larger than the ones in my 30ft bunkhouse.
From what I read the MDX is only good for 3500lbs towing. Even that Passport will be over that once you add a battery and propane. If that is the vehicle deciding the purchase, I would reconsider. That trailer will be crazy tight for family and will have virtually no storage.
Personally, I would go with a trailer that is a little larger and matches up to the Tundra better and forget towing with the Acura. That is me though, each to their own.
