I've a 2008 Trailblazer LT. Your Envoy won't pull very much on the TT front unless you look at one of the ultralites or even a soft sided tent trailer.

Look at your owner's manual. Find out the towing limits and then go to some manufacurer's website and look at what fits into your towing limit. A good site to start at when you know your towing limit (I expect it's around 5,500#) ... I see that Fleetwood RV has sold their tent trailer business. Search on Tent Trailer RV and see what comes up; then review their product line.

In your part of the country you don't have a lot of steep grades.

Ever driven around Dubuque? Especially towing?

Turp, I think if you're looking for a rig to enjoy camping in for longer periods (i.e. post-retirement), your Envoy will limit you to something that's small and rather spartan. If that's what you want, that's great - but if I were you I'd find out exactly what your towing capability is, and look at both MHs and small trailers, or plan to trade the Envoy for a larger tow vehicle so you can tow more trailer. Good luck to you!

Okay. Here goes the real answer. Buy a motorhome and tow the Envoy behind it. I recommend that you look at a Bounder.

What's your point? You think you're the only one able to have that opinion?

I guess I must agree with you. Feel better? I reinforced your point.
