I would think you need a vehicle with tow weight of 6k minimum or possibly 7k. Sounds like you might be packing a lot of gear for these trips. Also, in my opinion, the TM is not a rolling bathroom. It is not something that you can just stop on the road side and use the facilities. Your family might need a little more functionality. Folding and unfolding the TM is easy but 9-10 times in two weeks is a lot. Everything that is stored in the TM has to be below counter height. If not, then its in the TV. Once you start carrying fresh water, waste water and gray water, the proper TV will be important. I currently use a Tundra with a small V8 and tow weight is 7100lbs. With a payload of 1500. More than enough for wife and I for two weeks. Avg MPG is 14 with elevation changes and highway speed.
