If you read the fine print in your owners manual you will probably find that the towing capacity includes the load inside the car. Once you add your camping gear you will be over weight. Besides safety you are risking damaging the transmission when you over load. Trailer brakes will increase the safety factor even if they are not required.

Find out the trailer weight and then allow for your stuff on top of that.
