Thanks for all the replies.
They think we are making excuses and they don't understand the difference between driving while towing and driving while not. They don't understand it takes longer to fuel up (and have to fuel more often), we have to take longer breaks and can't do other things like swing through a drive-thru for food.
We've been getting an earful from my sister in law about how we need to make more of an effort to see the family...blah blah blah. For the record, we do see everyone - just not all at the same time like she would like - Oh the family drama! haha

Yes, better safe than sorry is our view.
