Karl's advice is good.? ?Unless you have a special need in a tow vehicle (eg. 4WD, van, long bed pick up) chose the trailer you love and then the tow vehicle to pull it.? ?If you are really hot for a particular tow vehicle, maybe a 4WD SUV, then you are going to have to pick among the trailers with weights that suit it -- in the case of the 4WD SUV, that will be a light weight travel trailer.
So, go to RV dealers and sample floor plans.? ?Consider things like bed arrangements, toilet and shower usability, gear storage, battery capacity, dining arrangements, etc..? ? Try to get a feel for what you would like.? Your lady should be with you.? ?The way things usually spit up in a trailer, the man does the
blue chores:? hitching, tank filling and emptying, jack setting, and such.? ?Women do the
pink chores:? bed making, interior cleanng, and such.? ?The lady will want to spot things like
does the main bed have walk around space on three sides to aid in making it.
Once you have come to a clear idea of what you want in floor plans and have several models in mind along with their weights, start loolking for the tow vehicle to fit -- and the hitching system to tow with. Use the Trailer Life tow rating tables (
www.tralierlife.com)to aid your research -- it is a rare auto salesman that has any idea about tow ratings. They will give you a "yeah sure" every time.
Good luck.
