    Hello everybody. I have a 2008 Off Road and I recently bought a 2015 RZR 570. The RZR is fun as hell. But now I have a dilemma. I have no way to haul my current camper and RZR at the same time. Do you think I would be able to tow a Scorpion S1 trailer loaded with a RZR? Or am I going to have to make 2 trips each time I go camping?

    Here is a link showing the specs of the trailer:

    I have a WDH hitch and Firestone Ride-Rites installed. I know that doesn't increase my capacity, but it sure makes me feel a lot better when towing.
    Thanks for any input you all might have!

    How much does the Razr weigh? Camper looks like it's 3850, call it 4000. Add 500 lbs minimum for add ons, gear/fuel/water (usually it's more like 1000lbs extra). Does the Razr weigh less than 1500lbs? If so I would say you can do it.

    With the stuff I have on it, it probably weighs 1350 lbs or so. I was hoping somebody would chime in and say, "I have that exact setup and it tows like a dream!"

    Thanks for your reply. Now I have to see if I can find one relatively close to buy that's in good shape!
