Need advice on what TT please

The wife and I have spent all weekend looking for what travel trailer we want to pick up. We started with the aspen trails, however they just looked to big and heavy for what we want to do. The kodiaks ultra lights at the same dealer caught our eyes, but they didn't have any models big enough for our family. Next we looked at a hideout, it was beautiful and had everything we wanted and more, but it was 7000 pounds. Then my personal favorite the KZ connect 28 bunk house, however my wife didn't like the 33' 6100 pounds for our 2012 suburban. Looked at the Bullets, I didn't like the styling, then the sunset trails, just wasn't haven it again. Finally on the way home we seen a passport ultra light grand touring 2670 bunkhouse at 5300lbs, with everything we need for $22000. We loved the exti. and the interior was nice too, kodiaks and connects were more modern though. The fact that it's 5200 pounds just sound pleasing, we usual pack heavy and drive 5-6 hours away. I know giving up weight may mean cheaper parts and a higher price tag, but a stress free tow is nice on the long hauls.
Anyone have anything to say about the Passport ultra lights? Good or bad?
  • 8000 pounds towing, but we are towing a 5000 pound AmeriLite with about 600 pounds of gear. Let me tell ya anything over 65 mph is scary! Real soft suspension, did the air bags, hope it helps! I'm just curious if anyone knows if a passport TT is a good buy. Almost every RV I looked up has a few bad ratings, makes you wonder!
  • If you consider my Winnie an ultra light at 3,740 dry and 5,100 wet/loaded, no complaints. But we camp with two. More space means more weight. What are the numbers on the 2012 Suburban?
