What can our Kia Sorento tow?
We are thinking about getting a small, lightweight trailer, either a hard-side or a hybrid. Pop-ups are not an option. We have a Kia Sorento SUV with a towing capacity of 3500 lbs. From what we can...

Hybrids are wonderful and you really feel the outdoors. However....and this is especially true if you're storing away from your home, if it's at all wet/damp, you have to open it all up when you get home and let it completely dry out or mildew will be your enemy. Then you have to go back and close it all up when it's dry....could be a pain. We were plenty willing to deal with that because we have a large covered area, formerly the ROOport and now the Rockyport. But those other things I mentioned above figured heavily into our decision to change.
The R-Pod is a great little trailer. Nice quality. They have been out about long enough for early buyers to decide of they love it or hate it and you may find a dandy deal. I still suggest you seriously consider a slide, even a small one. A sofa is very nice, but not what I would consider an absolute requirement in a trailer in the 22' range. Since the island kitchens are relatively new, you probably won't find that in your search. Yes on the cooktop and I would say yes on an oven...we use ours every trip. Biscuits. Cookies. Cinnamon rolls. You're right about having some work to do on this but you're approaching it from a realistic point of view. It's out there, now you just have to find it. Good luck.
