Scared and Excited Newbie!

I hear ya. Last year I managed to get an older prowler (19E) for 2k. Fixed and road worthy for another 1000 but it is ROUGH. its a good starter but has no running water (black and gray are there and we use water cooler bottles and a 12v pump so it works. The prowler is within the specs for my Jeep WJ (6500 lbs) but not by much. If I added 2 teenagers I would most likely be over. My jeep handles it but you can definitely feel it in tow and I don't have a BH or a queen. Its got a double up front with a single coffin above it that folds down from the cabinets and the dinet folds down to a double. I love it. It will do until I have the funds and tow vehicle to go larger. That said I came from popups and love them (the wife not so much) for what you are looking at I highly recommend a popup. much more comfortable to tow and way more space inside. Yes they are more to setup and the washrooms leave something to be desired but its a tradeoff for usable space and towability. Good luck. Keep us posted. Oh and definitely do your own math for capacity, dealers will tell you it can be pulled with just about anything. Can be doesn't mean its a good idea.
