Apex or Venture (Sporttrek) TT
Looking to get a TT and slowly narrowing it down to either Apex or Venture. Thought I'd ask here. Anyone have either and if so, good things to say or bad about each? Still working on numbers whethe...

Not sure why some of these posters are being so judgmental. The OP came on here seeking information, not ridicule. If you've never towed before, there is a steep learning curve. I'd hate for the OP to go elsewhere to get information, because he was made to look like an idiot - he's not.
With that said, I tow with a Ram HEMI 1500 with a 8850 pound towing capacity. I tow a trailer with just over a 5,000 dry weight and a 535 hitch weight (again, dry weight). It's just my husband and myself, along with two small dogs. I would not want to tow very much more - maybe up to 5500 pounds dry weight. With a family along, you'll definitely need to be careful not to buy too heavy a trailer to allow for their weight, and also all the "stuff" you'll be bringing along.
We looked at Apexes and liked them very much. We ended up getting a Keystone Bullet, due to floorplan and cost. We would have definitely preferred an Apex, if we'd found the right floor plan at a price in our budget.
