Anyone towing their camping trailer with a RZR or UTV?

I purchased a RZR a few months ago which is street legal in AZ. Last week I came across RZR hitches so I purchased one which will arrive today!

My plan is to use the RZR to tow a small camping trailer- Who else is doing it?

I see a few sport cars towing little trailers carrying rooftop boxes (Yakima & Thule) designed for larger cars and SUV's. There are plenty of motorcycle trailers with tents, but they seem to be too expensive for what you get for the price.

I installed the radio/headsets and hitch this week. Now I just have to decide what I want to do about a trailer. I may buy a little flatbed 4'x5' or something (which I can always use for chores around the ranch) and see how it does.
Turkey season opens today so it will have to wait till next week. Time to hunt!

Some UTV can tow no problem just because it says it rated to tow really doesn't mean much. If you've ever looked at the small axle bearing theirs not much there!

I wouldn't put more than a pop-up or one of those small teardrop trailers behind a RZR. Good way to ruin a $20k+ toy

I had a weekend like that in Tijuana. Poor donkey.

I have a Rhino. One of it's main functions is to tow stuff around. Hitch on the front and hitch on the back. I used to use it to maneuver a 26' foot boat into the shop.

Depends on the model year, some of them had tongue weight allowance of 150-200 pounds (and total trailer weight of 1000 pounds). I know bending the mount was a big problem for a while, a number of companies developed add in brackets.
Don't take life too seriously, it's not permanent.
