One, at this time today your family of 7-8 is 710 lbs......I'm laughing here........wait a few years, you will be like me, a family of 6 when my 4 were adult sized kids at 1200-1300 lbs betweenus. I can see at least this number for the family add in 1200-1500 lbs of hitch at.....as mentioned, a DUAL tired passenger van/bus will be my first choice. There is NOT an SUV or as van that will truly have the pay load for your total needs.
Have phun with the kiddo's!!

no one ever believes our weights or thinks our kids are all very little lol
-Our 5'10" 14 year old son is 110
-Our 13 year old daughter is 104 and has reached adult height already.
-Our 11 year old is filipino so very slight and will always be. She doesn't even register on the american weight charts lol
-Our 9 year old is 69lbs
-and then we have a 2 year old who will have plenty of years to grow from her 25lbs she is now.
-Our newest addition will be here in December so will eventually factor in some.
-And my husband and I stay with in 10 lbs of our usual weight typically.
But only a few years left with our oldest two and they will be out. So weights will grow some but not terribly much as the older ones leave the house and the newer ones get grow up ;)
We may even be selling our TT once our year around the country is over. So it's mainly the here and now that we are concerned about.
We have considered a bus but I get terribly car sick if I am not in the passenger seat and there is no passenger seat(or room for one) in a bus or shuttle bus unfortunately. So we ruled that out.
