The OP stated he was willing to do mods on the TV to increase the weight rating.
I pointed out there are things you can do the improve the drive and handling but you are stuck with the frame and axel ratings.
As for the best light weight TT, it is like the best dog or best shotgun etc. it depends on what you are going to do.
I love my Dutchmen Lite, we have towed it over 30,000 miles in 4 years. But I would not take it off road, winter camping, or non-electric camping for any length of time. There are better TTs that are designed for that type of usage.
You have to know what your camping goals are then pick the equipment that allows you to do that.
I would say the average run of the mill TT is designed for the family of four to take with these three options in mind. 1. A full hook up KOA or other such campground for a week or two. 2. Park to park travel every few days, knowing you will dump tanks when leaving. 3. Weekend or other short term adventures throughout the summer with electric.
As Handye9 pointed out floor plan trumps all else. It is there no matter what other mods you make or add.
Perhaps the OP can give us an idea of their camping goals.
