Picking Up A Used 550, Camping On Way Home Saturday

Holly and I are making our inaugural teardrop trip this weekend. We will be driving from Salt Lake City to Green River, Utah to pick up the trailer, and will be stopping on the way home to get our first sleep in our first teardrop. We had a Scamp 13 foot trailer for 9 years before selling it several years ago. I'm excited to get back off the ground after tent camping. I'm also curious how the Outback pulls it. Ciao

I'm pretty sure you'll be smiling for a while when you first tow the 550. I'm certain that it is a lot less of a load to be worried about. Let us know how it goes! BH

We pull a 560 with our 2012 4cyl Outback. Mileage drops to ~22mpg but otherwise it tows easily. I opted not to get trailer brakes thinking I could add them later if necessary. I've found the Subaru's brakes to be up to the task. I think you'll be happy with your Outback towing the 550.
 
The Subaru pulled it great. We have the trailer home, and are excited for the camping season

hehe! That's the previous owner's Jeep. I haven't taken a picture of the trailer hooked to the Outback yet. Now I'm wondering why...:)

So how was your first night in the unit? Bet you are glad to have it home and can begin planning the first real adventure!
 
I just realized that the picture is of Kodachrome State Park the next night, but you get the picture (pun intended) ;)
