Need help choosing a TT my truck will pull

I do see many at 6000# but looking for a specific floorplan will cut that down. No bunks, dual ACs, no entry door into bedroom.

Are dual AC units on TTs not common? My wife is set on 2 as we had in our MH.

That AC config would seem to be almost impossible to find in that size.

I just did a similar search and finally found a great floorplan in the Springdale 2470RL. Not exactly high-end, but it was my first TT and the GF and I have been doing a lot of traveling for work lately (event / PR photography at east coast horse shows). SICK of primitive camping!

Anyways, as you said the bunk house seemed like a waste of space for us, and I really loved the rear lounge setup with the two swivel chairs and HUGE rear window. Also has a single slide (large) with big windows as well. It's very open and inviting, with an angled kitchen counter, full-size fridge and oven (all requirements). Dual entry doors have proven useful as well.

At 30' and 6000lbs its really at the limit of what I wanted, but I figured a new tow vehicle is in the works anyways, but the TT is something I want to keep for a LONG time. If we got a 16' or something and we fell in love with camping, we'd need to upgrade quickly for some longer trips we have planned. Plus I just got it as an un-touched used 2016 which was a complete steal.

As for AC, ours has a ducted 13,500 BTU unit and it's fine except on the HOTTEST days (105 heat index in kentucky last week) - even then after a day shooting in the sun it's heaven. Stayed around 78 in there. The second the sun angle goes down it'll get as cold as you want. If you MUST have upgraded AC, id just find one with a 15k unit.

As others calculated, 6k is probably a good "max" weight for you. I think mines is just over 5800 but my max tow is 7700. Tongue weight on mine is a little heavy @ 615, not sure why - but I empty all tanks and tend to pack more stuff on the floor in the rear, it's VERY well balanced in that config although it's difficult to tell with the air suspension, feels nearly identical from a rebound perspective even on the worst roads/bridges.

In just a few weeks I've put 1400 miles on it, once through I-64 mountains & 7% grades in my 300hp land rover - you'd definitely be fine with the F-150. Check out those RL layouts too by the way.
