What weight TT for a '99 Suburban 1500 TV? UPDATE sold Sub

I'm completely new to all this - dh grew up with a pop-up and loves to tent camp but if I'm going to come along it must be something hard sided with a bathroom and a refrigerator! We own a 1999 Sub...

Sadly 1500 Suburbans can already be overloaded by just loading with passangers. You really really need to load your family up plus what ever you would normally have for a trip and drive across a set of scales. Then look on the drivers door post for the GVWR tag. Subtract one from the other. Thats how much payload you have. A 99 Subbie is likely going to have nearly zero payload. You might first start looking for a bit newer 2500 burb before starting on the trailer search.
