My wife and I are new to RV and interested in buying a travel trailer. We have 7 children (ages 13 and under) and drive a 2008 E350 extended. It has a 5.4 L V8 engine, GCWR is 13K lbs. We believe our curbweight is around 5k lbs. We figured 9 people, 2 dogs and stuff brings the weight to around 7k (probably over estimating.) So, we think we need to find a trailer with a dry weight of around 6k lbs.
Does that math work out right? We need enough space for our family, but don't want to kill our van. We will be travelling through mountains.

Most places we go, we would not need the van (weekend camping trips and such we'd be fine with just the RV) but when we travel out of state, we really would need a way to transport all 9 of us in one vehicle.
Trying to think how to make this RV thing work.

My 2013 E-350 regular length scales at around 5500, so you might be underestimating that. You need a better handle on what you ate loading into the van, and think about the loaded weight of the trailer, rather than an advertised dry weight.
