Good thing you are looking at smaller trailers, a 40' with slides will probably put you over your tow ratings.
I don't have any trailer suggestions, just addressing the weight police comment. :)
I would be right at my max fully loaded with a 40 footer triple slide. I know people do it and in fact I talked to a buddy of mine who has the same truck and towns a 41 footer. "Oh you would be fine" he says, "I do it all the time with no problem". Maybe that's true but I have towed trailers that were too heavy for the tow vehicle and I don't want to be in that situation again. That's why we are looking to go smaller. To be honest we loved the 40 footer we looked at, I just don't want to tow it!

Ahhhh, the good ole "I got a buddy and he said it would be fine"..... Go put it on a CAT scale fully loaded and let me know.
My 40', with NO slides, full water, a 2800lb sand rail and 1 full size quad, I am 17,800lbs for just the trailer.
That would be over the tow ratings of your SRW truck.
Why I have a dually.
But, like you said, you are going smaller so you should be fine.
