Shopping for quality travel trailer for 8-10
Making the transition from sea (selling the boat) to land with our three children (and cousins). We're shopping for a higher end travel trailer that will accommodate at times 3 adults and 5 children....

Another comment by me.
Our first TT was a Dutchmen Sport, suppose to be 5K in weigh and was only 18 feet (box) and 24 feet long bumper to bumper. I towed it with a 1995 Chevy 1500 Suburban. It only took 6 months and the transmission was destroyed and had it replaced with a rebuilt transmission. The Burb never towed the same again. It lost power under a load, and it was awful. Even driving solo (no trailer), it still had issues and never drove like the original transmission again. We traded and got a 3500 gas Chevy Dully. This worked OK until we traded trailers later and went with a bigger trailer.
As folks stated above, with a Suburban, unless its 2500 or more, your very limited what you can tow.
I just remembered this after reading all the posts.
