Hoping to keep it to an SUV... will it work?
I have posted elsewhere about my trailer needs but for the TV... Really would like to keep the TV to a Dodge Durango (V8) which has towing capacity of 7200 pounds. GVW is 7100 pounds and loaded wit...

SUV's have a short wheelbase. You end up with the tail wagging the dog and you won't be happy with your RV'ing experience towing with it. I tried it with a Tahoe ONCE and never ever again.

Great advice. I traded my Honda Pilot in because the white knuckle experience was enough for me. It just wasn't safe. Keep it to a pop up or trade the SUV in. I know it's not what you want to hear, but it's sound advice from many of us.

That being said, anyone who had trouble towing a 3400 lb trailer behind a Tahoe isn't in a position to be giving any towing advice. You obviously didn't know what you were doing or know how to set up your rig. Because you didn't know how to set up your rig doesn't mean it isn't safe.
Didn't say I had trouble. And YOU don't know me or Hawk7 or have even the slightest clue about our setups. When a sudden correction is needed driving down the road a short wheel based vehicle will not be able to handle it properly or safely.
That said I would NOT want to be any wheres near your '27 foot' 5,700 lb trailer driving down the road being towed by your small SUV when a situation comes up requiring a sudden correction.
Claiming that an equalizer hitch is going to totally eliminate that TT from swinging in an emergency correction and that "SUV is going to handle the situation SAFELY" is a serious dis service to new RV'ers.
And by the grace of God I sincerely hope you never find yourself in that situation.
If you feel the need to ignorantly bash forum members perhaps find a different forum to do so. :R
