RE: SUV for Towing
lots of choices. I know first hand the grand Cherokee can pull well as can the explorer and sorento. Im sure there are others. Pay attention to payload and frontal area restrictions and make sure you have a proper hitch/anti sway setup.
Whats in the vehicle when you go? as someone who owns a newish explorer and f150 I would never buy the explorer for myself. the f150 was cheaper and is better at about everything (including fuel mileage) Only downfall is it doesn't have the 7th seatbelt that ive used once in the last 2 years.

RE: Hope you travel alone?!!!!
that's rate about half of my f150. I like my tuck. sure I would have liked a 3/4 ton diesel but my wife and wallet both teamed up on me and said no. I love my truck. Took me about 5 seconds when I started research to settle on ford
IMO
Ford > Gm > Ram

RE: Is this RV to long in the back to launch 24’ boat.
not sure how the rear end being farther back than the wheels has anything to do with dunking? the hitch will be proud of the rear end regardless. the problem I see is with the potential to high center if the wheel spacing is too far or the ramp too steep. either way this would suck. a lot. could likely work on most ramps though not all. by the same definitions there are some ramps that don't work with a lot of vehicles including off the lot pickup trucks. pick your ramp and have fun.

RE: Best fit for family of six?
5th option, find a house near family, live in it when you are around (fly or drive the Honda) rent it on airBnB when you are not there to recoup cost. An RV is a huge cost and requires constant maintenance. If you want to get into it for the sake of RV'ing then great. I love it. If you think this is a cheaper/easier way to visit family across the country. I promise its not.

RE: Suggestions on single axle trailer and SUV tow vehicle
the expedition can make a great tow vehicle for a trailer <27 feet. Only reason I didn't get one instead of my f150 was the price tag. Lots of options with this vehicle. also means you don't need to drive a POS Chevy so that's a win.

RE: Suggestions on single axle trailer and SUV tow vehicle
where you planning to put everything? you are extremely limited on storage. I would plan out what is going to go where and make sure it fits.
clothes, cooking equipment, food, toiletries being the main things inside. outside, chairs, jacks, hitch equipment, basic tools, any games or hobby equipment you may like, bug protection, additional shelter or ground coverings......

RE: New to RVing.....please help
Last question. What's a dog tail? Lol and thanks for the rest of the advice
It is a little electrical cord 2' long that has a 50 amp connector on 1 end and 30amp on the other end. you can also buy a dog tail that is 30 amp on one end and 15 on the other end if you need to plug you trailer in when you have it home. 1st look to seek the size of your trailer/RV electrical cord. The 50 amp cord is bigger than the 30amp. If your trailer was has a 50amp, and you get into an RV park that only offers a 30 amp connection, then that is when you connect your dog tail. Just go to Amazon or Camping world to buy the dog tail. They are not real expensive.
fixed it.
