So you must be totally confused. I agree with you that it is commonly suggested that people load most trailers about 1000 pounds. I don't agree with you that you plan to have some of this load not travel in the trailer, this will get old fast. It is nice to have everything loaded and leaving it in the trailer. Since you know that your available payload is 900 pounds I say that is 900 and not 940 or 1100. Payload is payload and needs to be spread over both axles as 900 pounds, you can't add payload by using a wdh as stated. You can get a lot of trailer at that weight. I have a 35 foot trailer that is 6400 dry and 8000 if fully loaded. Towed with a F150 until recently. Look at the Bullet and Premier Bullet lines to get an idea of what you can get with the weight. Good luck, I hope you can get through all this and find a great trailer for your family.
