Greetings all! We are making our family's first travel trailer purchase this week and are torn between two that we love. We have 3 SMALL Kids so the back bedroom separation is a must (2 infants won't sleep on bunk beds nor sleep at all with a simple curtain sepration). We have a few years before the double bunk situation works for us. I'm nervous about weight and quality...
Our vehicle: 2017 GMC Yukon XL SLT 4WD
Payload: 1567 Towing: 8200
The two:
(Husband's top pick)
Keyston cougar Half Ton 31SQBWE

The great number of years' experience from these forums is invaluable to people like us just starting out and we are truly grateful for any feedback on the above!!
Assuming you have a 1/2T IMO both those TTs are TOO LONG (35+ ft) and TOO HEAVY (9K GVWR) for your growing family of FIVE. AGAIN IMO you are going to BUST more than one rating along with your SANITY with that overstuffed sock. Look for something in the under 7K GVWR with UVW of around 5-6K and under 30'.
