Robert, Thanks for the offer to help with the research. I think if we go for the two car solution though, we will keep our Suburban and ad a car.

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. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Jennifer Jackson Sent: Monday, February 26, 2007 11:16 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [BlindHandyMan] cars and towing Hey Guys, I am having a car dilemma that I sure hope you guys can help me out with. 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.
