Glad to hear you are enjoying your teardrop.

If you hook them in series you end up with 24 volts not 12 volts. Not a good idea, you will damage all your equipment (bulbs, fan and fridge)

Good morning David, enjoy your trip. Grease bearings, check lights, tire pressures and light grease on hitch ball. Probably should check wheel nuts torque and hitch to ball play. Please let us know how you enjoy the park, we are going there in June. Pete

I have pulled small and large trailers for a lot of years. On hills and mountains, I always shift my transmission manual to maximize the engines torque range and for engine braking. This also minimizes transmission from shifting up and down continuous on uphill slopes, which is hard on transmissions. I’m also a retired GM mechanic. The torque range on your engine looks pretty good (2000 - 4000 RPM’S) just don’t be in a big hurry. A good transmission cooler is a good idea, and watch your engine cooled temperature.

The towing capacity for you SUV is 1500lbs and you have 203 ft/lbs of torque. You should be just fine, teardrops weighs under 1000lbs. Just be aware of the amount of stuff you put in you SUV and teardrop. Use you transmission to help braking on down hill stretches (engine braking) and I usually shift manually on mountain climbs. We have pulled our teardrop from coast to coast with a 2018 Subaru Forester xt, it does have a little power than your, but not a lot. I don’t think I abuse it at any point. Just don’t push it too hard. Pete

Sorry for the delay reply, if you want call us we can tell a little bit about our trip. Peter and Dena (519) 282-0838

Do me favour and call me, it would be easier to explain. (519)282-0838

Oh, about mirrors, no need for extension. Pete

We have been to BC and Newfoundland on two different occasion with our teardrop and Forester, probably clocked over 20,000km’s pulling it. I drive in sport mode and use paddle shifters and engine braking going down mountains I try not to abuse engine, transmission and brakes and have no problems at all. I do change my oil more often when we pull the trailer and watch oil temperatures. I just check the brakes, they were not even half worn with almost 60,000 km’s. Forest pulls it very well up and down mountains. Your stopping distances will be a little longer, just need to be aware of keeping your distance from other vehicles, If you want to talk you can call.

I don’t know, you should probably ask Steve.

Also a good idea to retorque after 100km’s

We got our tent from VP of the company in California https://teardropshop.com/collections/tents-shelters/products/side-mount-screen-room-tent?variant=393474946 Is the link to the company that had them custom made for Little Guy trailers. You need to modify how you attach it to our trailer, because the door is a little smaller. The tent is easy to setup after a couple of try’s. On that website there is a video of the setup and I can show you my modifications if you would like.

That would great.
