Hi to everyone

I am going to retire soon and am thinking of getting a small camper and tow
it with my 2003 (automatic) Forester.

I towed a camper with my 1991 (automatic, cylinder) Camry for many years,
and that car now has over 230K miles.

1. What would be the maximum safe weight for a trailer with electric brakes?

2. Should I install a transmission cooler? Where can I get one that fits a
Subaru?

3. Any comments on how well this car tows trailers?

4. Any idea where I can get a good price on a tow hitch?

6. I am looking at Casita and Aliner camping trailers. Has anyone pulled
one of these?


Thanks a lot in advance.

I have a MT 2005 now, had a 2003 AT.

AT- 1000 lbs w/out brakes, 2000 with.



I towed a Jayco popup about 50 miles. Tongue weight 200 lbs. The
vehicle was empty. I normally use a Honda Odyssey, I wouldn't want to
go any distance using the Forester.
I use OEM Subaru, plug and play. Good wiring harness.
I looked at these, defiantly lighter than my Jayco. Would probable
work better.
