Travel Trailer Question

[crtdavis]

I am considering buying my first camper and here is what my issues is. The camper that my wife and I like is the Coachman Catalina 293QBCK.

I drive a 2015 GMC Yukon Denali XL which states it will pull up to 7,900 lbs. This camper states the following:

UVW 6572 lbs and GVWR 9500 lbs.

Can my vehicle pull this safely or is this just a bit too much?

Looking for input aside from a salesperson if/when I go to look at them.

I have 4 boys so the space is perfect for us.

Thanks

Thank you for your comments. I was afraid of this.

Found a similar one but the UVW is 6,379 lbs with GVWR of 7,600 lbs.

Would you say this is still cutting too close or would this work but be about max?

Thanks

Please remember this when dealing with many RV salespersons. If their lips are moving, chances are they be lying.
And yes, as already mentioned, your desired TT (travel trailer) is too big or your TV (tow vehicle) is too small.

Agree. You need more truck, or a much lighter TT. You ain't close with this one

Too large/heavy of trailer......too small of tow vehicle

Dry weight of trailer is almost as much as that Denali would handle weight wise once you, wife, 4 boys, stuff, hitch are loaded up in Denali.
Will run out of Rear Axle weight capacity when you add trailer tongue weight


MAX Tow ratings are marketing department ploys using a Base stripped down model
Look for your specific weight data on drivers door jamb....
