I am very early in my research for a tow vehicle and travel trailer. I plan to sell my home within 2-3 yrs and purchase a travel trailer. I have my heart set on an Air Stream, new, approx 20-22 ft, no bigger. I am a single female and will be traveling alone so I do not need any larger. I also plan to purchase a new tow vehicle. I am leaning towards a Chevy Tahoe but am open to hearing from experienced RV'rs what to look for in a tow vehicle. I have driven a Dodge Ram truck a few times, but it's rather large for me. Your input is greatly appreciated.
You are on the right track.
Just see how much gross weight you'll hit from the dry weight of the Airstream you are planning to get.
With that, you'll have to get the right truck or SUV with towing capability matching the RV's gross weight.
You are right, some truck will be too big with extra expense on gas, maintenance and handling. RV dealers normally will have the software that does this.
