Under 1500lbs is recommended but I think you could get away with 1585lbs if you take it easy (which I'm sure you would). If you have an automatic transmission I would highly recommend a tranny cooler.

I agree and would pull it with the O.D. off unless real flat and no shifting back and forth.
2005 AWD What's your story?It's a wonderful thingMomma always said "Help that is not helpful, is no help at all"
Towing capacity is 1500, so that extra 85 probably isn't gonna be an issue. Wether or not you have an auto tranny, keeping it out of overdrive while towing, I would say you shouldn't have any problems. I'm sure, loaded up with the gear and some of the clan you will feel it. Getting a trans cooler will be something you should seriously consider. Here is something you may be interested inhttp://www.onlinesports.com/pa...0-TOY which is also available for the vibe. Not as a replacement, for the camper but additional space, for a larger group.

i hope you're going in 2 cars ! The passenger loading combined with the trailer would probably be a no-no, but the trailer by itself should be OK, marginally.
