Load your gang in the Yukon and go to an RV show or two. You'll be able to check out the most common sizes and floor plans. Bring ear plugs and don't listen to anything the salesmen tells you, it's pretty much all lies. They'll tell you whatever they need to in order to make a sale.
Take notes, pictures, video, whatever, on things you like and don't like. Share your notes here and folks with similar rigs will share what they like and don't like about any particular setup.

I can tell you, your owners manual should have some info on towing, and there's a sticker inside the driver's door that will tell you what your exact vehicle can handle in terms of weight. Usually you'll run out of payload rating before you run out of tow capacity.
