Thanks everybody. Upon further research I do believe we would enjoy the 21 bhs more. Not so much because the tip-out is so bad (we're used to a tent) but because we'd just have more room to move around one another - the 16 does look tight. We have 2 adults & 4 kids ages 14, 13, 11, and 9. However, while the 21 bhs is well within the tow capacity of the Traverse weight wise (believe it's 3200 dry), I don't like the idea of maxing that capacity out? Even if we packed light (which we do, but we'd be bringing 6 bicycles and ourselves along) would we be pushing it? Also wondering about towing something that long w/our Traverse? Which puts me in the position of considering whether or not I'm willing to trade up to a suburban-like vehicle that won't even fit in my garage. Not liking that idea too much. I like my Traverse - roomy, gas mileage isn't SO awful.
Well, I guess that's fodder for a new thread.
Thanks for the feedback & for letting me jump in.
