Tow vehicles
My wife and I want to get out of the old motorhome and get a travel trailer. I don't have the cash flow to but all new. What's a good used tow vehicle? Tahoe, Expedition? We're looking at a 26 - 2...

So, the expedition would be the better vehicle, or a 2500 suburban? Yea, we're camping right now. I looked across the way and thought I saw a Tahoe sitting in front of a TT. In the morning light it turned out to be a burb. Our old MH has a 454 with the turbo 400 transmission. Right now we're pulling a Honda CRV as a toad.
Our MH is a 1990 model. The chassis is in very good shape for it's age. The house is showing it's age. My wife and I bought this thing about four years ago as a starter MH. There's positives and negatives but, for us there seems to be more negatives. Since it's a class A the whole front of the MH is wasted space at the campground. Since it's a registered vehicle it comes with extra insurance, oil changes (generator too), tires, etc.. If you have a flat on the side of the highway you're pretty screwed and pray it's not a front tire. We had a blow out, I mean grenade in the wheel well, last year. Was lucky to be able to limp to a tire shop right off of the interstate. Once that was fixed we passed a guy towing a TT that had a flat. He was changing it right there on the side of the road.
Seems to me that, for us, the TT is the best option. We had one years ago and enjoyed it except in heavy cross winds. Turns out the MH is no better.
If there is an upside to the MH it would be the on-board generator and bath room. We only have to stop when I need to use the bathroom or we need gas.
