RE: T.T. Recommendation
I'm in the same boat as Mike, looking for a small TT. My research came up with the Minnie 18xx FLX series. Pros: large fridge, Truma heat/water/air, dual axle, 40% discount. Cons: small tanks, no outside kitchen.
Would be interesting to see what others recommend and what Mike ends up with. ;-).

RE: Genesis GV80 SUV Safe to tow the Micro Minnie? or not?
Thank you all for your input. As pointed out above, my GV80 has the HP and torque near the Tahoe but it's a crossover and not a truck base. I think I'm near the max weight and will let the dealer confirm it's safe before jumping on the Minnie. Hope they don't put me at risk over sales.

RE: Genesis GV80 SUV Safe to tow the Micro Minnie? or not?
I read somewhere that the tongue weight should be a minimum of 10% of the trailer weight. So if the loaded Minnie is 5000lbs and my tongue weight should be 500 lbs? As you pointed out, even if I reduce my cargo to 400 lbs from 500, I'm still right at the border to the max?
Also, what is the best way to bring two electric bikes when you have a travel trailer? or if that's even an option?

Genesis GV80 SUV Safe to tow the Micro Minnie? or not?
Hi, I've a 2022 GV80 3.5T SUV and considering to tow a Micro Minnie 2108DS travel trailer. I think it's borderline safe but not 100% sure. Anyone know if I should be okay or if I need to upgrade to another vehicle like a truck to safely tow the Minnie? TIA.
Genesis GV80 Spec -
Curve weight: 5038; Gross Vehicle weight: 6107;
Max cargoand passenger: 900 lbs. Towing capacity: 6000 lbs;
Max tongue weight: 900 lbs
With 2 passenger and about 300lbs of cargo, my average would be 500lbs.
Micro Minnie 2108DS
GVWR: 5500 lbs; Dry weight: 4364 lbs; Dry hitch weight: 486 lbs
Hope to mount two electric bikes in the back - maybe 160 lbs?
