Help decide - Skyline Nomad 21 or Wolf Pup 18TO? Which one?

New to camping, this will be my husband and I. We have an 08 Dodge Ram 1500, can tow 7900lbs.
We have narrowed down the trailer we want to buy to a new 2018 Wolf Pup 18TO (has large slide out) or a used 2016 Skyline Nomad 21. I worry about the lengths and how hard these might be to maneuver. My husband can haul trailers but we have hauled a 22ft boat and 20ft horse trailer. Should this be easy and will the skyline be a strain?
The Wolf Pup is 4200 and skyline 5000.

Which is best quality?

    We love ours. Walk around queen, LED lights under the awning, speakers are in the awning supports.
    We haven't found a floor plan that we like better. The build on the camper seems to be a bit better than others in the same price range. There is a lot of storage for a 21' camper.
    The Skyline company no longer exists, but that isn't a concern for us.
    Good luck in your search.

    I found one of these also that I like with no slide. Do you like yours? Does it have awning lights walk around bed and speakers?

    For what it's worth (3 cents), we thought the Skyline was a step up over the WolfPup.
    I don't understand your weights. Are they the gross trailer weights? Seems kinda high for unloaded weights.
    Our gross weight is 6000#, sticker weight is 3820#, actual dry weight is 4150#, and loaded with our stuff is around 5000#.
