Your Subi wouldn't be able to pull some of these American travel trailers. Many of them are absolutely massive, they're like a luxury condo on wheels.

We have no sense of reasonable proportion here in the US. Everything must be unnecessarily large and unwieldy, gaudy and exorbitant. Bigger is always better here in the good 'ol US of A.

Can't forget the boat! For reference, while this isn't typical, it's not uncommon. That's a pretty small travel trailer and boat. I've seen this setup with much bigger trailers and boats several times.

Not uncommon at all. My cousin had a giant fifth wheel, and he would often pull his four wheelers behind it.
