I think we have decided on this
Flagstaff 21DS
Anyone have any opinions on Flagstaff
I wouldn't buy a Forest River flagstaff or Rockwood. I had one, and what a piece of garbage mine was. Just me though. Others like them, and they provide campers in your weight range.
Besides, that 21DS camper loaded will be to heavy as you'll go over your 5000 lbs tow rating if you load it normal. There's a saying, never exceed 80 percent of tow rating to account for hills, winds, high temps, large frontal surface area, and even high elevations.
Your water alone is over 300 lbs. So if you want to use this camper, I suggest don't carry water, and carry camping gear and such in your truck bed, not the storage areas of the camper to reduce weight.
You could find similar seating/sleeping area in a much smaller and lighter camper. PICs
