Brand new to RV-ing, Family of 6 (soon 7)
Hello everyone, we are brand new to RV-ing (and I mean we have literally no experience). I am here to learn and get advice from those who are more experienced. I have several questions but I will try to find the appropriate forums to post them. We are looking for the best gas model ~34' unit we can find in the range of $60-70,000. We need to tow a car, hopefully our suburban if that's not too big. We aren't looking to be traveling full time by any means but hopefully a couple of months out of the year.

With a "soon to be seven family", weight will be a major issue. Make sure the RV you find has ample cargo carrying capacity (this included passenger). Also, a consideration will be the coaches GCWR (gross combined weight rating). This is the maximum the coach can weight with all cargo, passengers and the towed vehicle. A Suburban is a heavy vehicle to start with.
Good luck shopping, but keep the weights in mind.
