Hi all. I have been wanting to get into RVing for a long time and have finally gotten the green light. I have a fairly big family, 3 little kids, a wife, and my mother-in-law. I can't squeeze them all...

Welcome to the forum!
I would suggest that you make a list of possible tow vehicles with their towing capacity and payload. Along with that, research possible rv units with their weights. Make sure you understand the importance of payload i.e. 5 additional passengers in tow vehicle plus any gear must be reduced from the payload rating. I think you are going to want to pick out a tow vehicle with the highest tow/payload rating and then determine what trailer will work for you. My personal preference is to avoid being too close to the maximum towing capacity i.e. stay around 80% of maximum capacity...but that's just my opinion.
