Look at this PuP, skylights!

Is this becoming the norm? Plus he is weighing his TV too much!

That's a Flagstaff A-Frame.
Those "skylights" are in lieu of windows in the slanted Front/Rear Walls.

That's a cool looking camper. I'm intrigued about the A frames and may just go to that style if/when I want to downsize. I agree, it may be too much for that TV. Maybe a weight distribution hitch would be in order.

IMO, that's too much trailer for that RAV. I cant comment on a WDH without having any working knowledge/experience with them, but I'd bet that this person has well exceeded his 3500 towing capacity

The Forest River (Flagstaff/Rockwood) a-frames tend to run heavier than the Chalet and Aliner a-frames, but at a lower initial cost.

I've seen and know owners who tow the larger Chalets with RAV4s without any need for WDH.

WDH are generally not needed with the a-frames.

Looking it up, these trailers are about 500-700 lbs lighter than I expected.
The car must overloaded full of gear and passengers. I always carry heavy gear in or on the trailer as much as possible

I would think you could put a skylight in on a pup roof as well. I have a fantastic fan. It has a smoked lid very much like the skylights on the A-framers. Anyone done this mod?

Looking at the set up i would use a WDH to level at the tv. i have seen Subaru pulling Chalet and Aliner but they are lighter.

That would be a great mod!!! I have a fantastic fan too and would love to get a skylight!

I had a RAV4 before, the suspension at the rear was really soft. The guy need balloons or wdh. Toyota doesn't talk about the use of WDH in the owners manual, so I can't tell if they approved or not. In my opinion as long as he doesn't go over 350/3500 he should be fine.

He definitely could use a WDH, or should have a different tow vehicle.

Here is an example of what it is:

350/3500 if the vehicle is empty. I suspect the cargo area is mucho-overloado already
