Decisions!!!!

Bought a popup to take grandchildren camping and have set sites on a better rig. I was really looking at Trailmanors but since there are not hardly any around except about 300m away my research took me to Keystones with the hard bunk slides (outback and Passport). I see a 200qs that has 4 bunks which would work as I have a 2007 chev Trailblazer with about 96000m and the tow cap is 5200. The 20qs comes in UVW just over 4000. I do not see any boon dock camping so no need to transport water I was concerned with pushing the upper limit of the TV with its age and miles. Is anyone towing a 20qs or similar with a comp TV. I do not wish to get into another TV unless I have to but my first choice was a 21RS or a 23RS but UVW was high. I have looked at 70-100,000 mile GMC Yukon xl's but thought I would see what others are using.

Thanks in advance.

Going from pop-up to full size trailer, even a short one will introduce you to front aerodynamic resistance at highway speeds as well as side sway forces.I definitely like the idea of having a reasonable size vehicle both for towing and everything else, I am very happy with my combination and would be happy to encourage you to upgrade, but..........
SUVs are tricky and design nuances matter more than just size. I checked the Trailblazer specs and unless you have the SS version I don't really like it. The engine is quite good though but good news end just here. However, 4- speed transmission and 3.42 rear end almost never will work well. You will be able to pull at third on flat surfaces but even modest incline will drop you to second and you engine will hit the redline while struggling to maintain speed. Soft suspension and high sidewall tires will be unable to control sway even with good setup. Tahoe with V8 is clearly better, but well maintained used ML our Touareg with right outfit is much more fun overall in my opinion
