So I ended up putting a deposit on a Venture Sonic 167VMS (3300 lbs with roof A/C, dinette slide out & elec awning). Large holding tanks, and lots of kitchen storage, full underbed storage and a dry bath.Re: Got new fur baby and now have to make change in vacationArbor Terrace in Bradenton is about 7 miles from the beach.Re: Sun Blocker (screen) Good Sam Care Team wrote: Hello Labren, http://www.campingworld.com and enter sunscreen blockers and there will be several options.

I haven't considered used because I wouldn't know if something was wrong with it, so I'm looking at new with a warranty. I'm waiting til spring cause the warranty starts at purchase and I won't be leaving to go north til the spring anyways. Plus I can save up more in the meantime.Re: Another how much can I tow busterbrown73 wrote: I owned the Envoy's little brother, the Buick Rainier with the I6 powerplant. If your Envoy has airbags and can be equipped with an auxiliary transmission cooler, decent brake controller, and quality WDH, Way over my head here. It has air bags and that's all I know. Guess I have to go to GMC dealer to find this out.Re: Another how much can I towIt appears that the Escape trailer is only sold in Canada.Re: Another how much can I towme again - those are the figures that I came up with too, so I was looking at keeping it under 4000#.Re: Another how much can I towSticker on door--- GVWR 5550#, GAWR 2950#, GAWR RR 3200#. I have the manual and find 5,300# to 6300# for max trailer weight depending on my axle ratio (whatever that is). I have been looking at 19ft trailers less than 3700#, but as I will be living in this for 7 - 8 mos out of the year, I would like to go a little larger (maybe up to 25 ft depending on the weight of course). I have also decided that if it must be small I'll try to find one with a slide. Would using the 4800# less 550# for myself and misc. be pushing it too much?Another how much can I towI am a women with no experience with travel trailers, but have towed a U Haul trailer and a boat on a trailer in the past. I have lived on 3 houseboats before so have some knowledge of shorepower and such. I would like to know how much weight I should be looking for in a travel trailer to tow with my GMC Envoy. The tow package is rated for 4,000 - 7,000 lbs. I have 4.2L 6 cyl. engine. The sticker on the door panel says GCWR 10,000#, GVW 5550#. I have been trying to be conservative and am looking at trailers that weigh under 4,000#. But if I look up the specs on my suv online it says that the max. tow capacity is 6300#. I allotted myself 500# for me and my belongings. Buying a bigger tow vehicle is out of the question. Thanks to anyone that can help me.
