![]() I live in the prairies and drive into the base of mountain ranges where there aren't many long steep grades.Ģ. Most of the terrain we drive on is not insanely hilly. Judging by how far we have historically driven to go camping I can say that:ġ. Limiting myself to 700-800 lbs of cargo (that seems like a lot of cargo) gives me an additional 200-300 buffer for towing additional things like water should I decide to go to a site that didn't have water services available. ![]() The 1910 we want to buy is just shy of 2000 lbs dry which gives me about 700-800 lbs of realistic cargo carrying capacity before I begin to approach the hard limit of 3000lbs total tow capacity remaining with passengers in van. My wife and I recently have been looking at tent trailers (rockwood 1910 to be exact) and looking at the specs of the camper I believe when attached to my van that I would be close to my max tow capacity which is 3500lbs minus 4 passengers = 3000lbs The filter for the tranny was replaced at 100, 000kms when I purchased the van and then again at 200, 000kms when Honda had to replace my rear main seal. I have since done at least 4 complete tranny drain and fill cycles (that works out to something like 16 drain and fills procedures) that would replace ALL the oil in the tranny over the past 100, 000kms that I've owned and driven the van. Tranny oil when I took ownership of van was perfectly new and showed ZERO signs of deterioration. Previous owner that purchased the van is a mutual friend of ours that did not ever tow a trailer with the van and he did service as per Honda factory recommended service interval. Our van was equipped with the factory honda tow package since it was new. The short: We want to reliably and safely be able to two a 10' pop up camper and not fry our van's transmission.
