Sure, just don't jump on it. When replacing my aluminum roof, I even had stacked bricks on it to re-bow it before bonding the new aluminum skin.

I found many pinholes in the aluminum roof of my 1978 Hi-Lo when cleaning it. Don't follow me. I ripped off the whole aluminum roof, but in doing so found that the damage was mainly at the end panels where it had leaked past the fiberglass end-caps. The new alum cost $600 w/ laps already...

There are 2 main issues in towing. Most important is that the trailer doesn't overwhelm the tow vehicle when braking, turning, and steep downhills, i.e. "tail wagging the dog". Electric brakes, controlling speed, weight on the rear axle, etc help, but no replacement for a vehicle much heavier...

Older Hi-Lo's are much lighter since they used little particle board and had hollow cabinets. My 1978 weighs 2700 lb as I recall. Your Sportage could tow that OK in flat land. However, you would be safer with a lighter trailer. Trailmanor is a similar idea but lighter.
