Now that you have this information, you can narrow down trailer selection by weight. Most RVers keep their trailer GVWR under their towing vehicle towing capacity, and you should also keep the tongue weight and GAWR within range. Travel trailers can reduce their hitch or tongue weight by installing a weight-distribution hitch. With the GVWR information in your arsenal you can head over to butlerrvcenter.com and filter down your search by “Weight”.

Once armed with the weight of the trailer you choose then you should purchase a vehicle that can tow that weight. This is important because you not only want to be safe and handle the load you’re towing, but you want to ensure that you can maintain reasonable speeds over all types of terrain.
