Jimmy, as Bruce noted in his reply, he has a 144" wheelbase TV pulling his Elkmont. Wheelbase is important when considering a camper, especially a conventional full sized unit. A general rule of thumb is to divide the wheelbase of the TV in inches by 5 and that will equal the maximum recommended full sized camper you should tow in feet. So, Bruces' 144" wheelbase should be able to tow up to a 28.8' camper with relative safety. I am not familiar with the Trailblazer wheelbases, so do some calculating to see what length trailer might work for you.
Of course, fold down Trailmanors wouldn't fall into this calcuation, as they don't have the side area to be affected as much by wind and passing semis. But even with a fold down Trailmanor, a longer wheelbased vehicle would be good to prevent a jack-knife position in a hard braking situation.
