Thanks everyone. DCFan...is your HW about the same weight as what I am looking at? Total of 3800? . Rockwood/Flaggstaff is the only HW I know of, but maybe there is something I am missing.
I believe it's essentially the same camper, only the finish is different between the two (I have a Flagstaff HW).
Also I wanted to clarify I do have the tow package on mine so my weights are 5000/500. I am within my limits but pushing it. I would not tow with this car without the weight distribution hitch, but with it I have absolutely no problem, no sway, no issues stopping, tow level.
I get about 17-18 MPG on the highway at around 70 towing my camper. It sits slightly above the top of my highlander, mostly the A/C but a bit of the camper. It is definitely big and I definitely know it's back there.
Good luck to ya.
