Something to consider, besides getting the floor plan you like, is FW trailer axle size. Many of the 10k GVWR trailers have light axles. They will be rated 4,400 lbs, and will have smaller brakes. If you get 5,200 lb axles, you will get the better/larger 12" brake drums.

Yes, I have already been thinking about this. In fact, I was looking at some smaller 5W that are not considered "Xtra Light" or "1/2 ton towable" One of the ones I was looking at was a Keystone Cougar with a raised den in the back. Because of the raised den there is aTON of storage available in the back. Since there is so much storage available in the back, can I assume that the trailer is designed to carry a lot of weight in the back (like a toy hauler) without affecting the towing ability because there is not enough weight on the hitch?
