Maybe some of you are not aware that a Kia Sorrento is one of the top SUV towing vehiciles that is why we bought it. Dry weight is 3500 GWVR is 5489. I think that is plenty to buy either one of these campers.
1,278 to 1,537 lbs payload depending on configuration, well short of the almost 1,700 pounds of payload I have on my truck. As I mentioned we're at ~90% of ratings for both axles with 5 people, a camping load, and our 3,500lb loaded trailer. If you don't believe me look at the yellow sticker in the drivers door jamb, then load up the family (including your +1) and all the stuff you'd take camping that you wouldn't put in the trailer and take it to a CAT scale or similar weight scale. You'll see how much capacity you have left, then figure out if 15% of the trailer weight you're looking at would exceed what's left. Most likely it will.
