1st time buyer - 31 vs 35 ft trailer?
We are planning to get a 5th wheel trailer soon and are debating between a trailer that is 31 ft and one that is 35 ft length. It's our first time pulling a 5th wheel trailer so we are leaning to...

Someone recently posted a link to a 60(?) gal bladder on Amazon along with a 12v transfer pump. Put that in the bed of your soon-to-be 1t, and you're good to go. :B I'm sure you could even find bigger ones, if you look, but then you're getting into weights. Frankly, with the lighter weight rigs you're looking at now, a SRW 1t would be fine as far as payload goes. Also, if you're going to have a "chase car" one, or more, of your kids might want to ride with Auntie instead of the truck. :B She could also carry some of the "stuff" that might be in the truck.
As for power, at minimum, get a couple 6v golf cart batteries and a good 100-200w solar panel and charge controller. If you've got some bucks to burn, look at building a Li battery pack from Nissan Leaf battery modules. NOT cheap, but you can get double the amp hours in half the weight and space of 2 6v batteries. Life expectancy is longer, too, and no maintenance.
That's great to see! I'm sure even getting a 30 gal bladder would probably do the trick, thanks. We definitely will want to get us much batter power as we can fit, and solar for dry camping.
