Most CUVs are off your list. No 21 ft camper is weighing less than 3200 lbs(even lightweight ones), so anything with 3500 tow capacity or less is scratched off your shopping list. That includes minivans, if that makes you happy. But full-sized vans are still an option. XD
So, many your options are the typical "truck bastards", like Tahoes, Suburbans, Expeditions, 4 Runners(w/ proper tow package), Armadas, Sequoias. OLDER Pathfinders(before 2012) and Explorers(before 2011), when they were still body-on-frame, etc) also have sufficient towing capacity.
There are some unibody vehicles with 5000+ lbs of towing capacity, such as the Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee. The Chevy Traverse requires a tow package to get 5200 lbs of towing capacity. Otherwise, it only has 2000 lbs of towing capacity. The VW Tourareg and the Porsche Cayenne surprisingly have 7716 maximum towing capacity, lol.
www.Onlinetowingguide.com has a list of recent makes a models and their towing capacities. They won't let you see older vehicles without getting their app, but you can get an idea what is out there.
