Question:
Can I tow anything else while using the Outset, like a kayak trailer or small utility trailer?

Hey Kevin! The Outset # TH34FR39XB actually uses your entire 2inch hitch receiver, and because it’s deployed as a tent and not towed like a normal trailer, you won’t be able to tow anything else while it’s in use. There’s no pass-through hitch or secondary receiver on the tent base.
If you're planning to bring other gear like a kayak or bikes, we’d recommend roof racks or bed racks on your vehicle. You could also tow a small trailer separately and unhitch when you set up camp.

Hey Kevin, did you find a good way to bring along your kayak or other gear with the Outset tent? I'm curious to know if the roof or bed racks worked for you, as it could help others planning a similar adventure!
