LOL I will have to accept my fate then. So what is a 3/4ths?
I think the 3/4 ths, you are referring to, is 3/4 ton (250 / 2500).
1 ton would be 350 / 3500.
I think your best solutions might be a second vehicle (split up the number of occupants), look at hybrid / expandable trailers, or, look at motor homes that have the sleeping room you require. I did some looking at various RV manufacturer sites. (Forest River, Keystone, Thor, etc) and saw a few units with similar floor plans, that were also lighter weight. However, they wern't light enough to fix your situation. I did see a 31 foot Class C (small motor home) that advertised sleeping for nine people. Dollars and cents wise, maybe the motor home is the way to go.
The trailer, you are looking at, would be a stretch for most SUV's, even without a large number of passengers.
If you go with a second vehicle, the same calculations will need to be done, regarding what that vehicle can tow and carry. Try to leave yourself some cushion in the ratings. Towing near / over any of the ratings, can be quite unpleasant and sometimes dangerous.
