Towing a small pop up with a CRV
Is any one here towing a small pop-up with a CRV? If yes, how does it do over hills etc ? Jack L

Yup, Fleetwoods tow terrible... if you go camping with no LP, no battery and nothing loaded in the camper. Show of hands? ;)
My Fleetwood came with an unloaded tongue well under 10% and I love it. By the time I fill the LP tank, plop the G31 battery on, load up the duffels, bedding, cooler and food she's at about 270# tongue - a perfect 10%. With my 350mini wdh rigged to the minivan, I'll put my stability up against any TT not packin' Orange. Dumb design is when you put so much tongue weight on a popup that you need a pickup to handle the tongue weight. Then, indeed, why not get a TT?
In fairness, the mid-oughts Bayside model got a lot of sway complaints. Never towed one, can't really comment. My Sun Valley tows like a dream. Tens of thousands of miles on her and never once has the trailer tried to manhandle us. Few TT guys who have crossed South Dakota can saw the same!
