Hi Terry -

I'm not sure of the weight of a Tradewind, but our 1966 Overlander (26') is
about 3900 lbs. with dry tanks and no gear on board.  I would guess that it
is getting close to 5000 lbs. with full water tank, full propane tanks, and
all our miscellaneous stuff.  The Tradewind is probably only 200 - 300 lbs.
lighter since all the major (ie. heavy) stuff is basically the same.

You should be able to tow it easily with a standard 1/2 ton pickup,
full-size van or larger sport utility...I also believe several people on the
list tow happily with GM Astro vans...

Good Luck...

Tom
