Trying to decide on a TT or 5er.

We have the Jayco HT 26.5 RLS, a cousin to the bunkhouse you are looking at, and have no problem towing it, and our 19' Crestliner, with our GMC D/A combo with a short bed. We do have a Reese manual slider but have not used it yet. Towing is great and there is a great deal of storage room, in fact, we have unused space. The specs on your FW and ours are almost exactly the same so you should have no trouble towing this FW. The Touring edition looks promising, it was not available two years ago when we bought our RLS or I might have looked at it instead. I think it is slightly heavier than the HT, but not so much as to cause you a problem. You might take a look at RVDirect to see what their pricing is for negotiation with any dealer you might be looking at. We got some pricing before shopping nearby and the nearby dealer came within about $2,000 of the RVDirect price which was about what it would have cost me to drive to Indiana and back with the FW. If you want to talk about our HT, just PM me and I'll tell you what I can.
