You said nothing on family size and weights but if we start with a typical family of 4, 550-700lbs will cover most (not all) scenarios. Adjust as needed for your situation. Add for tongue weight 900lbs to be safe, another 125 for the hitch, and you have a total of

Right now my van is a commercial work van with no back seats. We have several campsites within an hour drive. So, the plan is keeping it local and having wife, kid & the fat arse Labrador Retriever following in the Pilot with the bicycles & kayak.
Prob have firewood, chairs, beer, and a few miscellaneous things (like extra beer) in the van.
In a year or two I will get a king cab pickup 250 or 350.
Don't want to buy a new TT and TV all in one shot ;)
