    I have a new CR-V which has a towing-weight spec of 1500 pounds.
    I am considering a lightweight Scamp travel trailer that weighs about that
    much.

    If anybody has experience towing anything with a CR-V, I will appreciate
    your comments and advice.

    Thanks,
    Carl

    Carl,
    I would suggest that you are attacking the wrong problem. No doubt your CR-V
    will pull the trailer but the prime consideration, IMHO, is can your CR-V
    stop the combination safely and within a reasonable distance. Also, consider
    the tongue weight of the trailer and the max hitch weight of your vehicle.

    If you have your manual, I would consider reading it to get accurate
    information.
