thank you for all the information! it's a lot to take in.
I have been working lots!
So my current van is a mini van. It's a 2004 Grand Caravan, and it gets hauled down with three people and festival gear. It was getting 12mpg! I would not pull anything with it, as it can barely pull itself.
I'm also going to be parking the trailer at peoples houses. So maybe when I got to Florida, I might move it every two weeks, or a month. Sometimes it may be easier to sleep in the van/truck/suv for an event, or just stay inside with friends, and leave it parked. Eventually I'll come back to Asheville, and use it for summer and winter trips, or park it behind the house for an guest house!
so I'm thinking that a Chevy Tahoe would work, because I could store my festival gear in that, take the third seats out. The government rating for the gas is 15.5mpg on average, and right now my van is 17mpg, sometimes it gets more 18.5 or less 12mpg.
So then whatever trailer I get would have to fit that. this is the towing capacity of a 2001 Chevy Tahoe:
Second generation Tahoe's equipped with four-wheel drive and the 5300 V8 have a maximum towing capacity of 8,800 pounds when fitted with the 4.10 axle ratio. Two-wheel drive Tahoe's of this generation have a maximum towing capacity of 8,100 pounds when equipped with the 5300 V8 and the 3.73 axle ratio. Base model two-wheel drive models have a maximum capacity of 6,100 pounds while base model four-wheel drive Tahoe's have a maximum capacity of 6,800 pounds.

Or A Fifth Wheel, could be an option too, but then I couldn't keep festival gear in the truck...
