When she disputed the file with credit bureaus, parts were removed simply because certain creditors had gone out of business. Others, however, didn’t get scrubbed from her history until they aged off—which typically takes around seven years.

Turns out not so much

I gotta doubt that that's feasible:

2017 R-Pod RP-176 is a very small travel trailer weighing dry in at 3800lbs/1720kgs, it's not the trailer in the photo but... It looks about the same size, single axle, short as shit, tear drop shape. And that's the dry weight, once you add in gear That's a lot more weight. Typically most people expect to add in about another 1500 lbs/680kg from the dry weight. So that's a total of about 2400kgs, which is past what that car should tow.

In fact I'm not really seeing any trailers that aren't pop-ups that would qualify at the weight you're saying, even without gear.

That's not to say it doesn't exist, hell maybe my Google searches aren't showing me shit from across the pond that would work, but metal is heavy.

Easy Google search shows this car should not be pulling a travel trailer.

Motorcycle trailer, sure. But basically best case scenario this trailer is at it's tow capacity, which does not give much wiggle room for failure.

But most likely it's quite past the tow capacity. It's tow capacity is 2000kg/4400lbs. A travel trailer's dry weight is already close to that. If it was a pop up camper that'd be one thing, but this is a full dead ass travel trailer. It's probably around 5000lbs, and who knows what's stuffed in the back. This is a safety issue.

Quick edit: this is not to say you need to own an F150 for the one time a year you do this, but maybe rental?

This is the most likely situation, that car has a towing capacity of 2000kg or about 4500lbs

Travel trailer of that size is probably about 5000-6000lbs.

So this is what you'd call dangerous, and good luck if there's a hill.
