Newbie - Which is better tiny bunkhouse or hybrid

[Travelinsarah]

HI Everyone - My family and I are looking to purchase our first travel trailer. We have Kia Sorrento so we are limited on towing. We have a family of 4 sometimes 5. So what is better mini bunkhouse max weight 3500 or hybrid pop out? The hybrid had more room but looks like more work and the bunkhouse just looks a little crowded. We like the Keystone Hideout 175BH or the Jay Feather 17x or Keystone Bullet 1650. Any advise for a novice?

The GWVR is 5000 dry weight must be 3500. So either should be fine.

Your Kia properly equipped has a max tongue weight of 350Lbs. That 3500 dry weight will quickly become 4500Lbs. That will leave you will over the rating of your hitch. don't know the cargo capacity of your Kia but if you add passangers and cargo and tongue weight I assume you will be over weight there also.
