Need help finding specific floor plain travel trailer

Tall order of wants and must haves for a trailer under 6000 lbs. loaded and trip ready.
Honestly, from experience, I see a new tow vehicle in your future.

Good luck with your search.

Yeah, that's not going to happen. We up graded from a Suburban to this thing and can't afford an actual truck with the gas alone for my commute.

You found TTs you like so I suggest finding a TV that will pull your favorite.

Can you go into a little more about "The problem i see with towing with your TV is, you may run out of payload before you run out of towing capacity. By the time you add the hitch weight plus people, kids and all the stuff you carry in the truck you may very well be over your trucks payload and rear tire rating."

So I don't have our vehicle right now to look at our capacity but if the hitch weight is 900lbs and we weigh 450lbs and our payload capacity is say 2000lbs. that would give us 650lbs of other **** to bring. Now does that apply to only the tow vehicle or both? If both then that would assume that once we fill the propane tanks ect that adds in???

Still trying to figure out all these weights and how they all fit in.

Thanks

The units you show are in the 31 ft range. Slides and outside kitchens = weight. If your TV is not up to the job , then you have to get yourself a new TV or opt for another FP.

Even a Jayco JayFlight 26BH will roll down the road at 6500# and about 900# of hitch weight, that's w/o a slide or an outside kitchen. However, its a good FP that allows straight forward tv viewing plus enough room for a family to move about as well as interior storage.

I always liked the JAYCO TRAILERS home page where you can look at all of their floorplans and specs and compare between them...

You might get some good ideas doing this...

This is not exactly what you describe, but in the line of what you said. Look at the 181-B, 20 ft., 2725 pounds, TT from Riverside RV Manufacturing. They have a full line from teardrops to fifth wheels.
