Don't listen to the RV salesman as to what you can safely tow with your Jeep.

Find out what the tow rating is on your Jeep, and use 80% of that for real life (and Calgary's altitude). When shopping for RV's and looking at their weights, keep in mind those weights are all "dry" (ie none of your food and crap in it) and usually also don't include the awning weight.

Tongue weight is the amount of weight put on your hitch vs. on the trailer's axles.
