Engine size to tow a camper
So I'm about to do an engine swap in my 93 hatch and in doing so I need to make sure I get everything I need. I need a list of a few things I would need to pull this custom camper trailer I'm making specifically for my car. I'm thinking I need at LEAST a 2.0 but that's all I'm really sure of. So my question is, would anyone have some advice?

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

A 93 probably would not be safe towing anything much bigger than a casket on wheels. I can't picture it, anyway.
Buy a car big enough and with enough power to safely tow with?

What sort of trailer are you making? Size, weight, aerodynamics?

Re: Engine size to tow a camper
It has more to do with how much the car weighs. Your car weighs about 2500 lbs, and I wouldn't recommend towing more than your cars weight.
Like Ezone said, these things ain't good at towing. I was going to get a kayak trailer for mine, that is about the most I feel comfortable towing and I am quite experienced at towing with cars.

Ok, I really love my hatch. I'm making a solar energized camper so I can effectively freely live all over the country with only needing little money to get along
