There is a retired couple on another forum who towed a 16' Scamp tens of thosands of miles with a stick shift CR-V. They got a lot of grief from others about being 900 lbs over the tug's rating, but they just kept chugging along happily. They love Newfoundland too. Finally about 2 years ago they upgraded to an Odyssey. The CR-V does seem to be a tough little vehicle.
You might keep an eye out for a used Taylor Coach, too. I have heard that they are well built. They have a 2 year wait for new ones!
That is Norm and Ginny. They go by username honda03842 on the fiberglass RV forum (

They pulled that Scamp all over the US and Canada with the CRV. I think he finally retired the CRV at something like 180,000 miles.
