You may want to search this thread. This specific rig has been discussed many times. Our current rig is a 1998 3023 and a 2003 AWD Chevy Astro. There are a total of five of us plus two dogs. I have had the loaded TM weighed while attached to the Astro. It weighed 3600 pounds on a truck scale. (I am guessing it rounded to the 100lb. mark.) We have not had any problems with this arrangement. We have towed our camper from Michigan to Florida. We have never been west of the Mississippi so do not have any experience with towing through the Rockies. However, we have been back and forth over the Smokies several times.
We use a heavy duty weight distribution hitch with built in sway control.
Good Luck.
