I have a 2002 Pontiac Montana and currently have a 21rbh Trail Lite trailer. I was looking some trailers with 3500 to 4200 lb range dry. The normal place that I go camping is around 5km from my house in the woods. Can I tow something like this on a short distance? I currently have a tran. cooler and no problem towing what I have. Some advice please!
Jeff
