Go for it

Really quick and dirty calcs say:
Euro curb weight 1117kg... 2457.4 pounds
US curb weight 2650 pounds
Euro towing capacity with trailer brakes 1000 kg 2200pounds
no trailer brakes 500kg 1100 pounds
US trailer capacity = 0 (lawyer-driven chickenshyt wimpout)
Euro engine 1398 ccm 74 kW@6000 rpm 130 Nm@4000 rpm
Euro engine is 1.4L 101HP and 96 lb-ft
US engine is 1.8L 135hp and 123 lb-ft torque
tires 195/65 R15
US vehicles (and drivers) are 10% heavier and 30% more powerful
towing capacity should be same or higher
maybe 500 no balls, 1200 no brakes, 2350 with trailer brakes

Trailers Hiotches

Most small popup/tent campers should tow OK
Like
Lee-Sure Lite 11 foot, 255 pound, 25 pound hitch weight, <$4,000
and
Coleman Switchback, 13 foot, 850 pound, 100 ball weight, ~$4,000 used only
even
Adventure Trailer <1300 pound <$5500
but maybe not an AirStream 13' 2200 pound $20.000 combo hard/tent.

You decide on these compact standup fiberglass travel trailers ~$15,000+
Scamp 13foot, 1,000 pounds equipped empty, 85 LB hitch weight, shower, built in Minnesota
Outback, 13foot, 1,400 pounds, no inside shower, built in Canada
Ponderiosa, 12’6”, 1,480. 180 hitch weight, shower, Colorado
Casita, 13 to 17feet, 1880-2200 pounds, ~250 hitch weight, Texas
