Hello everyone from norther Alberta, Canada. My wife, our three kids and myself are currently looking for our first holiday trailer. Something light weight to tow behind our SUV. I will have some more questions, which will be posted in the appropriate forum, but wanted to introduce ourselves first. Thanks

Welcome Ry-guy. Have you had a trailer before? If so, great... if not, you will want to pay particular attention to tow capacity, etc. There's a lot of good info here. Just ask.

Quahog, this is our first trailer. We have borrowed a friends last year and had a blast. Our 2011 Ford explorer is rated to tow a 5000 pound unit. This is already taking into account passengers and cargo in the TV. Thanks
