What do you pull it with? My stepson was considering buying one.
We have a Subaru Outback (not even the larger engine model) that is our tow vehicle. It is, to be fair, rated for 3500lb (our model is 1600lb unloaded) but the only thing we’re careful of is very steep mountain roads. We do have brakes on the trailer, controlled via a brake controller installed in the car.
We didn’t buy the car with towing the trailer in mind - the car came first, the trailer second. It’s worked out just fine. Ours is definitely on the large side for a teardrop and depending on how interested your son is, I can easily provide more photos/recommendations. We’ve had it almost 3 years now and continue to be thrilled. Easily one of the best decisions we’ve made.

RV campsites are cheaper. :) Only downside is having to put on clothes to go to the bathroom.
