Towing with 2008 Honda Civic
My son has a 2008 Honda Civic sedan, and wants to tow an 825 lb Pop Up camper. The Civic manual says it will tow 1000 lbs, and the trailer is under on the hitch weight too. Anyone have any real world ...

Here is a few pics of an old PUP I had. This was a 68 or 69 Apache Eagle. I stil regret selling it. It weighed less than 600 lbs and had a scaled tongue weight of 75 lbs. it was a dream to pull.
Rear of the trailer...notice the entrance door on the back. Yes that is a full awning. Under the pull out beds you can see the roof halves that fold up and made a hard cover to protect the camper while Stowed. When folded down like they are they made neat little under bed shelves for some lightweight stuff.
Her is an interior shot looking from the door...the beds were on either side. Yes that iis bug spray. The camper had been sitting a long time. What was interesting about this Eagle was that it had the optional flip up cabinet instead of the dinette.
Here is one of the beds.
We never camped in it as it really did need new canvas and mattresses but I sold it to an Apache enthusiast and doubled my money.
These things are out there but the closest I can find made today is the quicksilver camper. It's pretty fantastic.
OP...I would make sure your son had a Transmission Cooler installed on the car and I would go camping.
Thanks!
