Looking

Dear Sirs:
Greetings. I am learning about Airstreams travel trailers for purchase in the near future. I was hoping to get a new Bambi 19' and (per Airsteam advertising) tow it with an SUV. I have looked at Jeep Cherokees and Libertys. Jeep adnertising shows a tandem axle Airstream behind a cCherokee. Jeep claims they can meet tongue weight and GTW specs. but I am wondering if performance would be acceptable and not strain the vehicle to destruction. The Jeeps weigh approx 4000 lbs. and the Bambi is GTW 4500 lbs. I have very little towing experience an wonder if it would be safe on the highway. I intend to use at least an equalizer hitch with sway control. I do not like large vehicles and would oprefer something smaller than a suburban if it is reasonable. If anyone has an opinion about suspected performace it would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely, Jay Iski
