Walkdog, you seem to be a bit over confident on what your Titan will handle. Oldbiscuit is spot on with what he posted for you. You can't believe the advertising and what salesmen say about what any tow vehicle can tow. Sure, it may well be able to pull it, but you will soon tire of fighting an oversized trailer to keep on the road, a tail wagging the dog situation. Being new in the RVing game with plenty of time to get to understand weights and towing issues keep reading on the subject.

Also go to the work camping forums and see what is out there.....litterally tons of things to do to stay occupied and get free or reduced rate sites. I retired at 52 although not from public service and I have enjoyed every minute of my freedom and have not looked back. From the day you retire it will all be in your hands to do or not do what ever you desire. Good luck.

I also agree with Oldbiscuit's analysis of the op's trucks capability to safely tow the (2) rvs shown. Too often, salesman and manufactures submit figures which are overly optimistic for their products when in real life, these types of matchups can be/are dangerous to the driver of such and to those around them. They are in the business to sell and will sometimes push the rules to the limit. The folks on this/other forums get paid "nothing" and just want to help. Listen, learn, and study the information given to you by those that have been there and done that before you make a decision that could be costly. Your not the first and will not be the last person on this and other forums who find that what they are trying to matchup is simply not safe or practical. I personally have seen several folks who where given the correct info from experienced folks for a tow vehicle/rv matchup and then those sames ones went with the salesman recommendation. Example: One guy bought a 40+ ft Kodiak 5ver and said the salesman told him it was ok to pull with a "shortbed" pu with a diesel motor. Several months later he got in a situation running 65mph and found out that the truck and 5ver were not a good match. In closing, go across (very windy)I-80 in Nebraska while pulling a rv with a borderline truck matchup and see ahow you feel afterwards.
