I find it interesting on this thread that the OP's original question was concerning opinions a specific new travel trailer.

Instead, he got response that included persuasion to consider renting a motor home, a different tow vehicle, a 5th wheel, a hybrid, a different model of trailer completely, and used instead of new, but no responses at all about the Sporttrekc.

I guess some of that is to be expected on a forum, but yea, more info on that trailer would have been good haha! I don't think many people have them though being a newer model.

I have a 6.0L. I would not own it with the 4-spd trans. I looked at 2000-2006 3/4 ton SUVs for over a year. Get an 8.1L of that generation. While the the 6.0L may be rated (with 4.10 axle only) to tow that Sportrek, I do not think you'll be very happy with performance. The safety point I was trying to make is that the GMT900 designs were done to 8 year newer standards. It has nothing to do with handling a trailer.

Clean GMT800 vehicles are becoming more rare each day. While I was extremely selective when I shopped for one 5 years ago, I still found only about 5 throughout the country I was willing to buy over the course of a year.

I toured a couple SportTrek models last winter, the 320 and 327. Venture RV was spun off from KZ. I met one of the designers who is an RVing person himself. My wife really likes the designs. They have some very clever ideas. I have a few reservations about buying one for my family's uses. GVWR/paylaod is low. Tanks are small. Master bed is short. Outside storage is low.

This is more of what I am looking for, thank you! I am still relatively new to the world of travel trailers so the more detail I can get, the better, even if it is against what I know or think I know.
