I live in the Southern California desert, and I expect that most of my weekend trips will be to full hookup sites. However, my question really is for my cross country and back trip, where I expect to use a mixture of dry camping and full hookup sites. This trip will be over 6,000 miles. That is why I am really trying to drill down on carry weight. And now I guess I need to consider if my car is up to towing a TM over the rigors of a 6,000 plus trip as opposed to a weekend mini-trip.

My car is a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica, which is a 3.5L V6. The owner's manual says 3500 # tow capacity, 8500# GCWR and that it can take a class III hitch. The dealer tells me that it has a transmission cooler. I have read a post from a TM owner with this car, but I don't know if he uses it for long trips/dry camping.
Thanks so much to everyone who responded - the TM community is SUPER
