Looking to trade up to a TrailManor from a pop-up. Tow vehicle is a Mercury Mountaineer with the 5.0L V8 engine, 3.73 ratio gear axle, automatic overdrive which I plan to disconnect when towing the trailer. The Mountaineer has a 111 inch wheel base. We do use a tow vehicle hitch to accommodate two bicycles but other than that we only carry the typical equipment for two people. I do not presently have one but plan to purchase a weight distributing hitch to use for the new TrailManor. Looking for suggestions as to what might be the largest TrailManor I should consider pulling with the above vehicle. The particular floor plan is not critical at this time, just trying to narrow the choices down to those I can accommodate with my existing vehicle. Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,
Jimwilly
