If you follow the basic rule of thumb that your trailer GVW should not exceed more than 80-90% of your tow vehicle's towing capacity you would need to find a trailer with a GVW of 2800-3150 lbs. The hybrids dry weight almost exceeds that amount. Three kids require a boat load of stuff (literally I have gone on vacations that you couldn't see the bottom of my boat for the bicycles, etc. loaded into it) so your chances of packing light are slim to none. Add in wind resistance of a TT and a pop up seems like a better choice. Have you checked with a Honda dealer about your tow capacity because 3500 lbs seems pretty low to me. Does yours have the Honda tow package? Honda's V6 is a pretty strong engine so maybe some suspension and cooling upgrades will get you a higher tow capacity.
