OML..... thank YOU so very much to all of you that have replied. I am quite astounded with the replies and have taken on board all the replies and I have sat down with hubby to go over it all. Whilst it's overwhelming to state the least, it has obviously identified that as a family of 7 with the current expy situation - what we require as a family for the next X amount of years .... the expy will fall flat on its proverbial.... so....
Given that the ideal situation for us would be the likes of this model type of set up... 2015 Jayco EAGLE 314TSBH (perhaps there are other models lighter than this??), or something like it with a diff manufacturer... (again the bunkhouse situation)... is there a 7 seater passenger SUV that has the towing capability for this particular TT model... OR..... not??
If I need to trade the expy in for something more suitable as a TV whilst still being able to accommodate the school/kindy/church/grocery/outing run that would be ideal, however... if needed to really push the budget could perhaps exhaust the avenue of a smaller truck as a TV (not ideal)..... hubby has his FJ40 that he brought from AU but that will most certainly not haul this TT!!!! ( i call it 'The Anchor"... another story LOL)!!!!
As a side note, I am from AU.... use to camping in the 45+ celcius aussie stinking hot summers in tents along the river murray since I could walk... lllloooooooooooong time ago.... hubby grew up in edmonton... but we are new to the rv world so again... thanks so much for your advice and suggestions :-D
we are taking it all on board :-D...
So I guess in a nut shell...
pulling this particular TT - 2015 Jayco EAGLE 314TSBH .... is there a
1. 7 seater vehicle out there that will tow it without compromising weight/cargo capacity, or, if not...
2. what manufacturer could tow this particular weight of trailer and still have the seating capacity....
3. If seating capacity for 7 cannot be attained....what manufacturers offer tow weight-ability....
just trying to think outside the square and I hope I make sense.... basically options are:
1/ 7 seater to handle the above model
2. if no 7 seater option... what manufacturer could handle this and what seating cacpacity
hope it all makes sense...
thanks so much again for all the help... this is the first forum board I have signed up to... and you have all be wonderful :-D...
Cheers,
k7
