Recommended Tow Vehicle for up to 23 foot Airstream

[71safari]

Our 23ft floor plan is as follows - seems to serve us well (family of 4):

-gaucho couch at front
-galley kitchen (with small fridge, stove & cooktop)
-in the middle we have another gaucho couch on the left and on the right a closet & small sort of dresser (we bought a little microwave & sit it here, and kids use portable DVD player in this spot too on rainy days).
-rear is 'wet' bathroom - we only use toilet in the night or in emergencies, we don't shower in the trailer (we use the camp's showers)

-we are a family of 4 (2 adults are 5'10 & 6ft) 2 kids (age 7 & 10)
-we don't eat in the trailer, have a quick set up dinning tent where we eat (not enough room for 4 to eat in the trailer).
-our kids share a bed
-we share a bed
-we pack the fridge/freezer full of meals (in ziplock bags as they lay flat & can pack lots) we've cooked & frozen at home, so our camp time is spent relaxing as much as possible
-we also pack our bikes in the trailer (on the rear gaucho reclined)
-its cozy, but most of our time is spent outside

I know how you feel. I'm about ready to give up on the A/S. I made a mistake with the Jayco and now I'm about to make a mistake with the A/S. I've been trying to find the right travel trailer since November 2008 and it is getting old.....

Very depressed, right now!

We have the same size Airstream as you but carry the bikes opposite the rear gaucho. Works well.

Thanks for the plug, guys! And, yes, those little cars are really towing the big trailers. Andy Thomson at Can-Am RV sets those up. He towed the Intrepid/Airstream rig across Canada. I prefer my Avalanche, thank you, but he does push the limits.
