Camper travel trailer noob questions
About to pull the trigger on a 2016 Dutchman Aerolite 292 DBHS. http://www.dutchmen.com/aerolite/floorplans-and-pictures/floorplan-details?modelId=22695 I'm hoping I got a good deal at 31950 out ...

I believe from all the above posts that the folks are telling you to approch this very carefully. It is hard to ignore the floor plan you really like.
From the above posts you should have gleened the following.
* You will almost certainly add 1000 to 1200 lbs to the TT dry weight.
* The TT tongue weight will likely exceed 1000 lbs when loaded.
* With family and stuff, you need to know how close you are to your max cargo.
* You also need to know how close you will be to your hitch capacity.
The dealer can give you some hard numbers but a lot of what you need to know depends on your camping techniques.
We did not know what we wanted in a TT, so the DW and I rented our best guess at what we thought we would like. 10 days in the Ozarks taught us a lot.
