First TT - Of course plenty of questions!
I am looking to fire-down on my first TT for the family. In the running: Kodiak Ultimate 29TBHS - ~6000lbs Keystone Cougar 29BHS - ~6700lbs Does anyone own a Kodiak Ultimate 295TBHS? If so...

I think my only adds to this are the following:
1. We are upgrading to a similar size trailer (Nash 29s). We currently have a hybrid (Starcraft 235SBS) which has been an awesome trailer. We camp pretty light and we pulled everything out and weighed it and our stuff for a 5 night trip was 760 lbs. We are a family of 4 plus a pug. The kids are teenagers so no toys etc to pack. The remaining cargo weight you mentioned is a concern for me, that weight goes fast.
2. The length of your vehicle vs the length of the trailer can and will have an impact on your towing experience. I believe that is one of the most overlooked aspects as everyone seems to focus on just weights of trailer and tow vehicle. Those are important, but so is vehicle length.
Not saying you can't do it successfully, but just to be aware of these as well. You are doing well by researching and asking questions.
Good luck!
