Anyone pulling 37 Foot "Travel Trailer" TH?
After all my research and looking at toy haulers, I'm leaning towards a Cherokee Wolk Pack 2512. It's a 37 foot long "bumper pull". I'm wondering what kind of hitch set up I'll need to safely and smoo...

The payload is listed as 2706#. I need to weigh the vehicle with a tank of gas to see where I'm at. I will mainly be using this trailer for just me, my wife and daughter to camp. Bringing along kayaks, bicycle etc. The other time it will be used for my BBQ team. With all of our cookers, food and beer for a weekend competition, I can't see us putting more than a 1,000 lbs in the trailer, so would I really be over 1,800 lbs of tongue weight?
The average travel trailer or fifth wheel typically with water in the fresh tank and living stuff adds over 1000 pounds to the coach. If you also add 1000 pounds of bbq and toy stuff you will be adding that to the basic living things that typically are found in a coach. I certainly would look at a 2000 pound receiver as a minimum as the weight of the hitch needs to also be considered (1800 pounds tongue, 100 +/- weight of the hitch). What you want to do is certainly doable, you just need to upgrade the tow aspects of the receiver. You probably will want to add some suspension stuff to the truck's rear axle, have the best higest rated tires, and use a sway mitigation/control feature.
