Your daily family vehicle may already be one of the many SUVs or mid-size trucks with a towing capacity of at least 4000 pounds. If that&#8217;s the case, all you need to do is find an RV with a gross vehicle weight rating (<a href=\"\/towing-safety\/what-is-your-gross-vehicle-weight-rating-or-gvwr\/\">GVWR<\/a>) of 4000 lbs or less, and you&#8217;re ready to start your camping adventures.
