Well...the wife and i want to buy a travel trailer. We found one that we really like. It is a Springdale 292BHLS. It has a dry weight of 5960 and hitch weight of 770. Dealer sates my 99 Chev Surburban would handle it like a dream. I doubt that.....but I sure would like to get this trailer. It has a class 5 factory hitch with the tow package. Rv dealer states that with the WD hitch and sway bar I would be able to pull the trailer and be comfortable. We live in Michigan so hills are not really an issue but I do not want this thing parked and not being used because it is a pain to pull. The chev has a 5.7 and 3.73 axle and HD trany oil cooler. Owners manual states 6000lb max. Am I nuts for even thinking aboout doing this. We want this big of a trailer since we have 3 kids and when we are not using it for camping it will be used like a guest house. The property we just bought has been set up for a travel trailer hook up with a seperate well, septic and power hookup all on a nice flat area by our pond. So am I nuts? Please help with any advice.
Thanks
