I am in the market for a camper and have been looking at the R-pod 182G. I have an FJ Cruiser and wondered if it could easily tow this size trailer. It supposedly has a 5K towing capacity. 

Also I was interested in the reliability and comfort of this model. 

Thanks

Not sure what the specific differences in the 182G and my 176 are but I've been all over the east with my FJ Cruiser.  It does great.  No weight distributing hitch or transmission cooler.  I monitor the tranny temp and it can get pretty warm going over the big pass in the Smokies, but from Cape Breton to Florida it's been great.
