Towing with Honda Element or CRV...?

[Dave T.]

Anyone towing your RV with a Honda Element (or CRV)? Do you stay below the 1500lb rating, what is your experience (i.e., do you recommend)? thanks.

The Element gets discussed fairly often here. Try our search engine for

I used to tow a 13 foot Burro with one.

Quick answer, with brakes and a tranny cooler it was very capable, and yes, I barely kept it below 1500.

HERE is one of many good discussions about it

Ah, an Element + Scamp, those were the good old days, replaced by the current days which will someday become the new "good old days".

We are proud owners of a 13 foot scamp and honda element. We tow our scamp beautifully with the Honda Element. we do have electric brakes on trailer, which is really nice but no tranny cooler yet. We don't tow fast, by choice. I can plug along saftley and without over taxing little sparky at about 60mpg. I love my Honda Element and am thrilled it tows so nicely. We stopped at a weight station and came in at 1300 something and that was fully loaded for a weekend. So if you in the oregon area this summer and you see an Orange element with a little scamp in tow, give us a wave.
