A Ridgeline will not "reliably" tow anything that sleeps more than 4 people as a rule of thumb. A Ridgeline will not tow any 5th wheel trailer at all. Period. No, not even if you take it slow and easy.

I have seen a Ridgeline tow a rather large travel trailer before, but it did not look very stable, and it was not up to speed on the highway, so take it for what it is worth. You cannot safely and reliably tow anything that is over 5000 lbs.

If you purchase a travel trailer from a dealer, the will not even let you tow it off the lot if the tow vehicle is not rated for the load. Liability and such.
