I have always loved to go camping, and have been in a very abusive relationship for over 10 years now. I recently made the decision to become a full time rv'er. I have to do this the inexpensive way though, as I own nothing but a mini-van. I own 2 Great Danes, and want to buy a tow vehicle and a travel trailer. I have read anything and everything I can get my hands on in secret as I have yet to tell my abusive spouse of my decision. Until I have somewhere safe to go, I can't let on what I am doing. Since I have 2 giant dogs, I have been looking into purchasing a used Chevy Suburban. I only have about $17K total to spend on the tow vehicle and travel trailer. I could get a loan for what I don't have to buy either vehicle, but prefer to not have a loan payment if possible. I have always owned Toyota's and would prefer to get a 4runner, but they are so expensive I don't know if that is a good idea.
Could I get your thoughts on what is the best vehicle for a tow vehicle? Keep in mind that I will be a woman traveling alone with 2 Giant dogs!!! I am excited, nervous and of course scared, but finally feel as if I have hope!!! Thank you all in advance for your help getting me started!!!!
