Happy medium between comfort and good gas mileage to haul?

Hi everyone! I just joined tonight, because we need your experience and wisdom! What would be your recommendation for the most practical size of TT for a couple in their early 60s who wants to trave...

It's not how much you can pull, but it's how safely can I stop?

I hope the O.P. isn't depending on any tow vehicle to stop whatever the tow will be...in my opinion, drive vehicles are supplied with brakes equal to the stopping job of their various GVWR ratings. None should be depended on to supply braking power for any towed unit weighing much over about 500 pounds.

As far as I'm concerned, every trailer should be equipped with brakes equal to stopping it, regardless of the size of the tug.
