We just pulled a 2720 with our Town & Country. We have the tow prep package though, which upgrade our tow capacity from 2000# to 3800#. We also have a class 3 hitch (which you WILL need-- no dinky class 2) and a receiver w/ bars that was installed at the dealer. I am not familiar w/ all that stuff, but they said we required it @ over 2000#.
That being said, we can usually get 23mpg on the highway @ 70mph. We got an average of 16.8 on our 3800mi maiden voyage through the hill country of Texas and twice through the Ozarks. Some MAIDEN voyage! LOL
The most important thing you can do is find out what your tow capacity is. If it's 3800# like ours, don't go over 3000# for a Trailmanor, 2500# for a standard camper (the drag of the height is almost too much). You need to figure in about 500# for water/waste hauling and another 300# for your gear. We also had a full van w/ fishing gear, chairs, and bicycles for the kiddos. We were gone 10 days so you can figure how much stuff we had, and we were fine.
Also, the storage for a family of 4 was GREAT for such a small camper. We camped with people who had a 30' 5th wheel and they were amazed that we were able to get so much stuff in our vehicles. You will not be disappointed with the purchase of a Trailmanor. We're not!
