Retired our 36' Excel and Silverado tow vehicle. Bot a 2010 GMC YUKON, SLT 1500 2WD, 3.42 rear axel ration, heavy duty trailering pkg, engine 5.3 Vortec V8, 6 spd auto, with 12000 miles. Book shows max trailer wt of 8400 and GCWR 14,000.
Looking for a smaller TT to tow to the National Parks.
Looking for suggestions as to what I should be looking for.

Thanks in advance

How about one of those Scamp's? They would be easy to tow and can get in a lot of small spots.

mga60tw, thanks for reply. I failed to mention I am 6'2 and the scamps inside will not do. Am looking for suggestions that will be comfortable to live in, me & DW, for extended period of time. My "bucket list" includes visiting all the National Parks in the West. Would prefer to be at the maxium end of weight and comforts. Queen bed a must.

Try a 25rb evergreen. Weight is about 4300lbs dry. We have a Tahoe with the 5.3 and 3:73 gears. 7300lb capacity and 13K combined weight. We had a 19 Airstream but corner bed was a problem. We are also looking for a queen bed and like the Evergreen.
