Just remember to not concentrate on the fabled "Tow capacity number". As stated above lots of stuff contributes to the weight your TV is carrying, especially the tongue weight. You can calculate it by multiplying the Gross weight of the TT by 12%. You then need to subtract the weight of the WDH setup.
There is a member on here who insisted that the Sequopia they just purchased was good enough to pull a certain TT they had their heart set on. Against all advice, they went for it anyway, and a few months later started asking questions about a new TV.
It is difficult to pick out both TT and TV at the same time. My advice is to get close on both and then buy the TV that is capable of pulling it first. You can then use the real numbers of that TV to consider what it can handle.
Have you looked at Lance? They have a bunk house model that is really nice. Jayco products have a two year warranty.
Just remember, options like 4x4 and nerf bars subtract from payload.
Here are a few links for more reading on the subject.
