First Time Travel Trailer Purchaser

Your two TT preferences are longer (32 and 34) than will comfortably fit in many CA state parks, USFS places and Kings Canyon/Sequoia NPs for instance but smaller than many who park at private RV parks. Could be a "happy medium" but it depends on what you want to do. At 22 feet we can get in almost anywhere.

Although I am highly biased toward Keystone and I give you a "thumbs up" on your Bullet selection, here is a web site that will absolutely blow your mind! Before settling on a specific camper, please do have fun exploring!

Your floor plan is available in many different brands of Camper, some even mimic the floor plans between fifth wheels and campers, even though there is a split level in a fifth wheel.

Don't over look Toy Haulers, Hybrids, and even fifth wheels.

Have fun in your research, and if you are really heart-set on the Bullet, go visit an RV dealership that sells that model. But before you do, look up other brands with a similar floor plan, so you can compare between them.

Anyway, have fun searching: Click here and have a great journey!

And by the way, with your tow vehicle of choice, I'd stick more with 18 - 22 feet in length trailer, maybe even single axle size, or a unibody-egg shell style to accommodate a more comfortable tow. You may "think" you have enough truck, but you really don't for the Bullet. Please listen to the voice of experience on these forums and save yourself lots of pain in the future.

The 8-speed will certainly help that 3.23 axle ratio. You may be limited to 4th, 5th or 6th gear, but that's ok. Mine is only a 4speed with a 3.73.
All that aside, take a look at the "not to exceed cargo weight" tire sticker on the drivers door. That is what you have to work with as far as payload goes.
Add up the weight of passengers, anything you'll carry in the bed and the weight distribution hitch. Subtract this from the payload limit and you know how much weight is left for the trailer tongue weight.
Divide that tongue weight by 0.13 and that will be the maximum fully loaded trailer weight to look for. Once you have this number, you can compare it to TT dry weights by adding 1000 to 1500 to the dry weight. (I carry 1500# of stuff including water)
After you find/purchase a trailer within your weight limits, you'll then want to replace the P rated tires on the truck with LT.
Just remember, the further away you are from the TV's max limits, the better the tow.

Edit: I repeated some info from handye9. But we were writing at the same time.

Ditto !! On forgetting that max tow number. Those are "perfect conditions" calculations. Those perfect conditions do not include aftermarket accessories (bed covers, bed liners, bed cap (could be 2 - 300 lbs) step bars, floor mats, etc), passengers, or cargo of any kind. Every pound of accessories, passengers, pets, or cargo, takes a pound away from your available payload and your max tow capacity.

A few tips and averages that may help in your planning and shopping:

1. Dry (unloaded) weights on travel trailers, only go up. The trailer gains weight (propane and batteries minimum) before the end user takes delivery.

2. Loaded for camping, the trailer will be 800 - 1000 lbs heavier than when it left the dealer lot. Ten to fifteen percent of this weight adds to tongue weight.

3. Tongue weight is not a constant number. It fluctuates during every trip. Depending on location of the holding tanks, in relation to the trailer axles, that fluctuation can be considerable. (My tongue weight can run between 950 and 1200 lbs)

4. Passenger (P) rated tires are not friendly with towing long heavy loads. Their softer sidewalls flex much easier than truck tires. This flexing makes the tow vehicle feel a bit unstable.

5. Check your available payload, subtract the weight of occupants, accessories, cargo, and 100 lbs for a WD hitch. The left over is available for trailer tongue weight. If you divide that number by .13, it will give you a ball park of loaded trailer weight that will put you near your max capacity.

Buy used so you can trade it which happens all the time.

I would go smaller and lighter. For two people there are plenty of trailers now in the 22-23 foot range that are very comfortable and much easier to tow. Stay with aluminum frame and fiberglass rather than stick and tin if you can. I am betting that your truck will be much happier towing less than 5,000 pounds than over that amount.

I made a couple mistakes with my first trailer. First is I thought it would be the last trailer I will ever need. Once you start to use it, you'll pick up on things you like and dislike about them. The average ownership of any particular trailer is about 3 years. Make sure you keep that in mind and get a decent price because you may want to trade it in a few years down the line.

The second mistake was I bought too big right off the bat. I was driving a half ton pickup and didn't like the feel of it while pulling. It felt like we were being pushed and pulled down the road. I ended up upgrading my pickup and downsizing the trailer as a result. Yes we sacrificed space but it's no longer a white knuckle stressful tow.

Good luck!

Don't overlook hybrids !

My favorite Trailer is a Lance - Biased there

Here is a line up of their lineup!

Lance TT, be sure to watch The Factory Manufacturing Video too! They're at a highre4 price point but well worth money.
4 Season and a 2 Year2 bumper to bumper warranty!!!

While it will most likely work I don't think you will be happy with the performance that high speed rear end. A 3.23 is good for empty fuel economy but so good for moving loads.

My best advice would be to hang out here at the forum and read, read, read. Be sure to read through the FAQ for Beginning RVers. After awhile you will see that some companies stand behind their products and some don't. Be sure to take advantage of the Search box as questions arise. Since you have a half ton truck I guarantee the Weight Police will be stopping by. That's not necessarily a bad thing. Just ignore the ccc's (cranky coot comments).
