Towing a Teardrop Camper can be done

First trip about 500 miles round trip and it was a breeze . This was taken before I got the higher rear hitch and you can see the difference. Purchased the stealth hitch which is amazing and wired in a 7 Pin with trailer brake controller. Lots of work etc but got it done . Averaging 18 mpg in 6 speed ALL 4 .

How stable is it on the highway with the crosswinds and/or tractor trailer turbulence?

I have yet to tow my twin waverunner trailer because I haven't been able to convince myself to work on them, yet.

Looks cool, but would rather stay in a five star hotel.

From: In the here and now, for now.
OK, we did all our camping out of back packs over many a mountain pass and portage trail, but no more, my co-pilot has her hot spot working and we've got a bed for the night half an hour from town. I have to ask though: You got the trailer for a traveling domicile. So, who's tent is that and/or what's it for?
That is a good looking rig. Some years past there was a lot of traffic on NAM from an outfit that made tear drop campers just for MINIs, Never paid much attention to it though as previously mentioned.
