First RV
My spouse and I are looking at purchasing our first RV, he grew up camping, I did not.... We have a 2019 Chevy Silverado 6.2L with max trailering, manufacturers tow rating of 12,200 pounds and are ...

So I didn't consider the hitch weight as adding to the max payload, that does make a big difference in the overall numbers, and could possibly put us over the max payload. I know someone mentioned my numbers as being conservative and that I should use the max payload for the TT, but the thing is there is over 1000 pounds of difference in the two models. Why should I should add 1000 pounds to the overall numbers just because the TT can handle it?
The new silverado is a workhorse as far as trailering goes, compare it to the 2500 same box same bed but with the duramax diesel, your not talking much difference ...
These are off the site not the vehicle sticker
Tow 13000
Payload 2513
Curb weight 7462
GVWR 10000
We have towing experience, not anything this long but we have a decent sized boat that we tow. As far as what we want/need, We like to hike and explore new places, but taking two large dogs to a hotel room can be exhausting. We absolutely DO NOT just want to drive down to the local campground to just sit around and socialize, sit by the fire or hangout inside....we can do all that in the comfort of our home. We don't need a huge TT but I have to have room for my dogs, at least one dog crate for my youngster, a king size bed is a must and I would like to have a living area layout that makes sense for spending time inside during rainy days. We're not opposed to going smaller but it seems that we can't find something to meet these requirements in a smaller size.
