Your limitation will be performance expectations. You can tow 11k pounds quite slowly compared to other powertrains. You can have plenty off payload/suspension/frame for 11k loaded.
Fuel? budget 8mpg for any high walled RV, 4000 pounds or 12000 pounds.
Agreed, while most of our trips won't be super long trips, still no reason to be chugging along. In order to go fifth wheel to get what we want it would weigh higher to 11k loaded, so we decided to go with a travel trailer (for now at least). We ended up like the Keystone Bullet Premiere 34BHPR, it's long at 37 feet, but with proper setup (probably getting an Equalizer hitch), and the fact it only weighs 7000 lbs, we should be good to go.
