Looking for Light Trailer Recommendations
Sold our diesel pusher last May, but doggone it, we're now realizing how much we miss getting out. But in order to keep life simpler and less expensive, we are looking at TTs. I have a 2014 Silverado...

We have a 2011 Nissan Frontier 4x4 with a 4.0L V-6, a 5-speed automatic, a 3.73 rear axle, and a factory tow package with a 6,300-lb tow rating. We towed a 4,800-lb (loaded and weighed on a Cat-Scale) 2012 Rockwood Mini Lite 2109S TT to Alaska and back last summer.
The 2109S is aluminum-framed and vacuum bonded, with a street-side sofa slide and a front, walk-around queen bed. We call it our "motel room on wheels" because it is a 8x18-foot box with a 3-foot long tongue for a 21-foot total length. It came with a very heavy folding dining table that you are supposed to store behind the sofa. We left the table at home and ate on two light-weight TV trays. It made the perfect "couple's trailer" on the Alaska trip because we do very little entertaining and have never had anyone stay in the trailer with us.
The Keystone Bullet 217RBS has a nearly identical floor plan, but weighs about 1000 pounds more, while the Flagstaff Micro-Lite 21FBRS and Palomino Gazelle G-215 are about the same weight as the Rockwood.
