Camper travel trailer noob questions
About to pull the trigger on a 2016 Dutchman Aerolite 292 DBHS. http://www.dutchmen.com/aerolite/floorplans-and-pictures/floorplan-details?modelId=22695 I'm hoping I got a good deal at 31950 out ...

Let me share from my own experience.
Four years ago I bought a '99 Suburban 1500 with a 350 engine. That was before I found this forum and learned about payload being a bit more important than horsepower. I later bought a 23-foot TT but pulling it with the Suburban was never pleasant. I was not an experienced camper and knew almost nothing about towing.
Folks on this forum warned me about being careful when I loaded up the Suburban for several of the same reasons you see now.
Finally 11 months ago I bit the bullet and purchased a 2014 Ram 2500 HD with built-in tow package and Hemi engine.
The difference in pulling the camper was like night and day. And it was great to know my truck had beefier suspension and brakes to handle anything that might come my way. Great peace of mind.
