We’ve got a 2020 ORP and a 16’ Caravel so the weight we tow is more than the REI version. I second the weight distribution hitch. We got our WDH installed when we picked up our trailer along with the brake controller. We’re in CA and I don’t think we could legally leave with the trailer without...
You’ll be fine. We tow our travel trailer which is 19’ in length from hitch ball to rear bumper and a tad over 7’ wide. Weight is 4500 lbs loaded up. It is an airstream so it’s got rounded sides and corners, but it’s 10’6” tall from ground level and the only time I’ve noticed it in wind was this...
