Choices of TV for a family of 6
The kids are 5-9 now, but growing fast ! TT is max (loaded) weight of 8500 lbs. SWMBO does not like vans. Is there a 6 passenger pickup any more or are we limited to Expedition/Suburban ?

Back in the day we had 4 kids in the slide in camper and a Black Lab dog as well (not a cab over camper) and Mom and Dad up front in a 1971 F250 reg cab long bed. We were towing a 26' Taurus bunkhouse TT..
Not even a crawl thru! Had zero communication with the parents.. If you had to pee.. There was always the Folgers coffee can..
I was the oldest and only boy. The others were girls (obviously) that were 3 and 5 years younger than me. (My sister and 2 "cousins")
It was actually really fun for us kids and we traveled thousands of miles that way. We had a center table, bunks on each side of the camper, an ice box fridge, closet stocked with snacks and lots of board games. We would play Monopoly, Clue, Scrabble, Battleship, you name it, we had it..
Plus, I would smuggle my cassette player with 4 D size batteries and we would have tunes! (Dad did not want us having "electronics" since we were "camping".. ha, ha!) Smuggled other stuff too in my teens.. ha, ha!! ;)
Anyway, I know that's not how it's done these days and I understand that.. Just brought up some good memories of our 4 kid traveling days back in the day and just wanted to share..
