Thank you all for your replies! I think renting a trailer at that weight is an excellent idea. I found a local rv rental place that rents an TT that's within a couple of pounds of the one I'm looking at. It's a foot or two longer but I'm hoping it will still give us a good idea of what it would be like. We are going to rent it sometime, load it up and camp locally and see what happens. Thanks for the idea, and for all the feedback. I'm sure I'll have more questions as we go along. :) Happy New Year to all, and Happy Camping.
