Great info from everyone and much appreciated! The suggestion of not traveling with water in the tanks is very helpful. I've still assumed at least 1 full holding tank, in the event that we don't have hookups at some point, and also gives me a cushion. I have included 700 lbs of "stuff" in my calculations - which is in addition to water, propane, batteries and WDH. I understand this is a swag, but believe it's erring on the high side. With this estimate, I'm at 78% of SUV towing capacity (6,066 / 7,800) and this assumes tongue weight is not distributed to TV. So I'm under the 80% guideline, but my overall GCWR is at 89% (11,508 / 13,000). How much of a concern is that? Oh - the SUV is 2WD. And our plans include a trip from TX up to WA to visit kids/grandkids, so I won't be able to stay on flat terrain. Think the Yukon can handle it? I know I'm pushing it. Just can't stand the thought of buying a TT AND a TV at the same time. Lots of cash to shell out and I love my pampered Yukon!
