Check the weight of the camper and then check the towing limit of the Pilot.  You will need, usually at any rate,  something bigger than a 3.7L motor also.  But a lot will depend on the type of terrain you will be driving in.  Flat land ALL the time or mixed flat and  hills, or mountains.   Your mileage will be cut in half when towing also.  Lots to think about isn't there!

Another thing.  Be sure whatever you get to use as a tow vehicle that it has the tow package.  Or it can be added.  Usually it is just better cooling for the motor plus a cooler for the tranny.
