Acura MDX tow vehicle

In the fall we sold our truck with the intent of buying a new truck this spring. Since then I lost my job, I found a new job, but now our fincial circumstances do not allow us to buy a new vehicle. So the wife has a 2011 Acura MDX with the factory tow package, which I do believe is rated at 5000 lbs max. I know it won't tow our current rv, so we are considering trading it in on either a very small hard sided camper or a hybrid that land in the 3500 lb gvwr range. My question is anyone else out there towing a similar set up, how does it handle a trailer of any size that falls within its specs. We did look at a couple of Jayco Jay Feather SLX models on the weekend, but are unsure if we should take the plunge. I know all the marketing hype targeted at the suv/crossover/minivan crowd is tough to sort through so I thought I would ask for some real life experience.
