Welcome to the forum !
First is to decide if you believe in the ratings systems or not
If not, then do whatever but know you have taken the OEMs off the hook for
warranty and liability
If yes, then read and learn HOW2
Next is to load up your TV as if going to tow and weigh it axle by axle
That will then tell you where you are in reference to 'your' vehicles ratings
All classes of TV's can be over their ratings, but the lowest class gets into
over weight trouble sooner or with smaller trailers (fiver and TT)
Depending on the weigh of your family, pets and cargo...betcha will have little
room for the tongue weight. Might not have enough for a popup
Am of no help until you provide actual weights of how your TV will be loaded up
ready to go camping
PS...kids tend to grow and another question is how long do you keep
your vehicles? Also, many advisors discount babies and toddlers...forgetting
all the 'stuff' that comes along with them... :B
