I would be interested to hear from anyone with experience in towing a camper trailer with a Honda CR-V (2005 model, manual).
Travel will be mainly on sealed roads, but it would also include some gravel roads. No off-road activity is contemplated. I don't have the camper yet, but I expect that it will be one of the smaller camper trailers, probably grossing about 700kg.
My principal concern is the handling of the CR-V on gravel, and the vulnerability of the underside to stone damage. Any comments, either positive or negative, will be appreciated.

We have just returned from the Flinders where we met up with 2
Young at heart Gents in their 70'ishes and they were in a CRV towing a Mid Size camper and having a ball.Just been down the
Birdsville Track with the dust and then hit the rain and the mud in the Flinders.There car covered in both and the smiles on everyones faces,my wife took a photo as the mud dripped off then we noticed the rear broken window and one of the gents open the door and scooped up the red dust from the dash.But they were enjoying every minute of their adventure so I guess the Little Honda was going
well.But make sure you protect your back window when on dirt roads
