1. Van? I am looking at the tow rating guides from trailerlife and see none that support the weight. E.g.
E-350 Super Duty Extended Van 6.8L V-10 10,000 (k)
10k lbs is less than 10.6k lbs i described, so not sure what everyone means here about getting a van because I could be over by 500 lbs.
2. 2 vehicles option: Will not work for long distance/regular traveling.
3. Super C: Our budget does not allow $100k+.
4. Calculator: very useful. Thanks.
Even the 12,000 lb Suburban I called about only has 1,991 carrying capacity (CCC) and so with about 600 lbs or passengers, it would be over by about 100 lbs (Jayco 815 lb hitch weight).
5. I am also looking at some extended pick ups (6 doors), but even more rare.
6. I read for example, the hitch weight on the Jayco 32TSBH is 815 lbs. Is this unloaded or loaded? If unloaded, is there really a way to know the loaded weight?
