Towing a 39' TT across country? Possible or no?

Forget any SUV. Keep in mind that most manufactures consider the tow rating to be on a vehicle with a 150# driver only. Where are you putting the rest of the family? Cargo/people in the TV must be subtracted from the tow rating.

You can haul that monster around but you will want to stay on interstates as much as possible.

With your limited experience you will be miserable towing that large of a trailer.

Kudos for doing your homework before leaping.
