First of all, stop thinking about the tow vehicle. What I suggest is that you and your wife start looking at RVs and lots of them. You have to determine how you want to travel.

We had a Honda Pilot that we bought just after our son was born (our daughter was 2 at the time) and we started looking at trailers that we could tow with it. We were not impressed with anything that was within the tow range of the Pilot. After a year or two of shopping for trailers we could tow with the Pilot we finally decided that we needed a pickup instead.
We then bought a half-ton pickup and shopped off and on for about 3 years when we finally found and bought our current trailer last year. Our 1/2 ton was able to tow the trailer without any real trouble, but after taking it out on several weekend trips I realized that I wanted something with an even better towing capacity so we purchased our current 1-ton diesel.
Because we shopped for the right trailer I don't see us getting a different one for a long time, and now that we have the right tow vehicle for us we will likely keep this combination for a long time.
