And single axle.. Cant carry C*ap

Umm the winnie.. small too IMO..

Your RT can pull 7400 lbs with a payload of 1300 lbs.

Who you putting in the truck? weight wise?

The trailers you speced out I dont think you can put more then 800 lbs in those..

I would lean towards this. I had one( 21fq) and it carried nearly 3000 lbs. Not that you can fit 3000 lbs in there but you will thanks me later..

This would be something you can keep a while and youll be comfortable.

Its light enough IMO

You might be right and I might end up regretting going small, but it’s still technically camping after all. All I ever wanted was somewhere to sleep that has hard walls and a bed that isn’t on the ground. And TBH I really like the idea of fitting a lot into a small footprint. It feels efficient.

To answer your question, it will be myself and my wife and 2 kids, approx. 440 lb (until my son hits his teens and starts gobbling everything in sight). The Durango can tow 7200 lb, but its limitations are its max tongue weight (720 lb) and payload (1200 lb according to the sticker, but technically much more). If I want to play it safe and keep my payload within the sticker weight, then reducing the tongue weight is the key, and it’s much easier to ensure that with a lighter trailer. I know that technically the Durango can tow much more (I see people towing 28’ TTs with them!) ... but I really don’t want to push it, especially considering that this is my first TT.

I like yours. My brother in law has that exact one and he loves it. In fact the Apex Nano is made by Coachman as well and has a similar interior. The only things that prevent it from making my short list, are the lack of slide out and the overall length. The Durango’s relativity short wheelbase would make towing anything over 23’ uncomfortable I suspect, so I want to stay well within comfortable boundaries.
