Half ton TV advice
I'm new to the TT world, looking for a 19-26' TT for the wife and I. We planning to semi-retire in 5 years, when we'll be late 40's, and live a minimalist lifestyle, try fulltiming and visit a lot of ...

The OP states a limit of 5800# available for TT weight. As nice and capable as this TT is.... It is higher than his limit.
The op's limit is wrong IMO, and this is why he asked here in post #1...
And once we get his axle weights from the scales it will show exactly what he has for payload...
Not that he is neccesarily getting the Nash I show, It was only a suggestion. Because the tanks on those units are all at the rear or on/near the axles. This is why I suggest a rear bath.
Also most of the Nash tongue weights are around 10%. I suggest because of floor plan and weight.
And to demonstrate that he probably has enough truck I pull a similar camper with a chevy s10 with 2700 lbs axles GVWR 4900. Fully loaded I am 200lbs away from that 4900 @ 4700 lbs.
Thats myself, grill and three crates in the bed of truck.( I ride alone)
fully filled fridge and pantry , two cases poland spring water in closet, 6 aluminum chairs under dinestte, ( these are all on or at the rear of axles) full propane, and 4 totes of clothes under the bed. All tanks empty.
Additionally if you want to go by axles, as I do, my rear axle is 2200 with WD. 2700-2200 leaves me 500lbs to work with. As far as I know the DOT would allow me to go over my GVWR as long as I do not go over my axle rating...
Would or could I live in my camper full time??? Absolutly.. Just wish it was 4 season and had that one slide...LOL..
