Is my Ford Escape worthless for fullfilling my dream? :-(

I've had this dream to live in an RV (travel trailer, specifically) for about 5 or 6 years now. I was drawn to the Ford Escape and was happy to learn they can tow up to 3500 pounds. I bought one last ...

I don't believe the Escape would have as many problems as everyone thinks.

For years our 3.0V6 Nissan minivan 150HP/180TQ towed our 23' dual axle Airstream (3,500lbs dry)

The Escape has 200HP/193TQ and weighs 900lbs less than the Mini Van.
