Yes you can tow a camper with a car but in general not really the best option. I will let some one more qualified handle that part of the question. Another option to consider if you have the room is to get a suitable car for the family that will be big enough yet give you good gas milage and also get a large conversion van. If you budget write this might work out good for you. You could consider a bit less budget for the car and leave a little budgeting room for the van. If you shop around you should be able to get a hell of a deal on an older van that has a good drive train with out spending a lot. With the price of gas going up the price of big vans are going down. If you consider this option I would not let high milage bother you too much. I will check my local listings for you to give you an example of what is out there, if you like.I am always looking at vehicle listings any way.

My family currently has a Suburban, but it is time for something newer. We do a lot of camping and other activities for which we fill up the interior space and add a car top carrier. The gas mileage for around town is killing us though. My thought has been to replace it with a car that will hold our family of five, and then getting a trailer to tow with the other stuff when we need it. Can a car do this? Do I need a tow package? What questions am I not thinking to ask? I look forward to your answer and possible suggestions. We are still driving that Suburban with the busted out back window. My husband is itching to get something else soon. Jennifer [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
