New to TT, Bit timid to tow ...?
Hi all, I am new to this forum and new to travel trailer camping. We have "the bug" and are looking at small Jayco or Rockwood. We haven't bought the trailer, nor do we yet have a tow vehicle. Howe...

You've gotten some great advice the most import being to completely ignore the vehicle tow rating when discussing pulling a TT with a lighter tow vehicle. Pay attention to vehicle cargo capacity.
Some general guidelines I would recommend based on 30 years of towing (it's free so it is exactly worth whatever you think of it)
- your planned tow vehicles: keep TT loaded weigh less than 4,000#
- if you really want those TT in your post you need to go to a Tahoe or Expidition that is tow equipped. They are not actually much bigger size wise but are a lot more capable. These can do in the neighborhood of 6,000# TT loaded pretty easily.
