I am also looking into the 347THT... size and weight..
I have a 2012 F 250 Gas.... I should be good..
carry is 3,600 so hitch is 2,200? and I can tow 12,500.. so 347 is OK at 10,600. plus stuff.
these things are NOT easy to find.
5 month snowbirding.
I can not do 40 foot toys... over 12k and tri axle..
some good reading... Yes, I read all pages.
The F250 gas as you describe would just barely be enough for this trailer if you are going to do much alpine traveling. Our rig with gray and black tanks empty, loaded with our regular gear, food, and the fresh water tank less than half full weighs about 13.3K. With the motorcycle and our riding gear on an extended foray gets pretty close to 15K. However, we are not full timing. I'm sure your truck would be fine for short runs or moving it from one long term spot to another.
In five years and 28K miles, we have gone through three sets of tires and had a broken leaf spring on the rear curb side where most of the bike weight rests. I replaced all the original 6K leaf springs with 8K and run 14 ply tires rated to nearly 3600 lbs each.
