thanks for the additional comments. The Forest River looks nice, I'm just a bit concerned about being limited to campgrounds being over 32 feet, that seems to be the cutoff at State campgrounds here in Washington.
As far as weight, I'm not concerned with the models discussed so far. My van is a one-ton, with 9,430 GVWR and 2,460 payload. Taking out the back row of seats is about the same weight as my pair of boys, leaving 1,500 pounds of capacity in the van for my wife and I, girls and gear even if we hit 1,000 pounds of tongue weight. I don't imagine hitting that number ever. I've double checked on the manual in my glove box as well as through Nissan's website. 8,000 pounds is the most GVWR I'd want to hit on a trailer, but I see a number of options that come in well below that.
