need help finding right tow vehicle

Hello we are a family of 5, 2 parents 3 kids and a baby on the way.. selling our house both vehicles and belongings to start rving full time. We are pretty positive we want an suv since we will be pulling a 30 ft TT, but not sure the best one to purchase. Im wanting to know if we really need a 3/4 ton or will a half ton be enough, also we will be pulling a motorcycle. please all input will be helpful. Thanks in advance...

    I've done lots of research so far we've decided what rv and no rv shows but still don't know which vehicle is right. We need to bring my husbands motorcycle for him to get to work since i need a vehicle that can carry all the kids. Also we know we are getting a 30 ft or smaller not less than 26ft though. i was told i could but the MC on the back of TT to tow not inside.

    Oh, I can't wait to see the answers as I'm wanting to do this myself, but I have 4 kids.

    How much research have you done so far? Visited any RV shows to see what's out there? With 4 kids, I'd seriously reconsider the motorcycle. You'll need the most living space you can safely tow.

    Welcome to the Forum.

    Family of 5 with ALL your possessions.
    30 ft. + trailer
    Also carrying a motorcycle somehow. (toy hauler?)

    Simple answer: yes, you will need at least a 2500/250 size tow vehicle.
