My pop-up trailer

Didn't know what to expect, if i would need a weight distribution hitch because of the weight on the tongue. It as a dry weight of aprox 1700lbs and the weight on the hitch without the propane tank and the 12V batterie beside the tank is 260lbs. But finally it did great on the highway, no problem breaking and accelerating, almost feel nothing.

Nice set up ! .... Our DJ surprised us too when we towed our new camper last summer from Ontario to Cape Cod Mass. - you can "feel" it back there alil, but not nearly as much as we thought we would. On the highway, my fiance was actually getting better MPG that I do commuting back and forth to work - lol - This year before we go, we plan on putting on a brake controller just to cover all our bases, but we wouldnt hesitate to go out again without it.

Happy Travels !

Can anyone help....

Just inquiring on if I can tow this camping trailer.

2008 Starcraft Hi Wall Pop Up Camper

Dry Weight (lbs/kg) 2865
Payload Capacity (lbs/kgs) 636 / 288.5
GVWR (lbs/kgs) 3750
Hitch Weight (lbs/kgs) 325 / 147.4
Have a 2013 AWD Journey Crew.
If so can anyone recommend a hitch-wire harness for brakes and lights?
Thanks
George

You probably could, but you are outside of the rated capacity of your DJ. Assuming you have the 3.6 and the tow prep package, your vehicle is rated for 2500lbs.
