I second renting something in the size you are looking for first. I had a 99 Tahoe and was surprised at how much drag a 6x12 cargo trailer had on it. I tried a 22ft Wildwood Xlite that was 3615lbs by the yellow door sticker with my 2001 Suburban for about 4000 miles and sold it for a 14.5 ft TT. It's lower and narrower and tows like a dream. I understand wanting to move up from a pop up because that is what we did. After the Wildwood we even considered a Aliner because of the ease of towing but the cabinet storage, refrigerator that is not mounted on the floor and a bathroom kept us in a TT. Don't over estimate your Tahoe's towing capacity and you will have a much more positive experience going to a TT.
