I REALLY like this one. DO yall think the 745 hitch weight would be to much? http://www.genuinerv.com/2014-keystone-bullet-premier-30re-new-travel-trailer-tx-i1173281

The 754# hitch weight just gives an idea of what the TW% is for the empty TT -- in this case it is 745/6400 = 11.7%.
With the front queen bed and large pass-through storage, it should not be difficult to get the TW% up to a more desirable 13% or greater.

You will need to estimate the tongue weight for the loaded TT.
How much of the TT's 1600# payload capacity to you plan to use?
If you load to 7500# and have a 13% TW, the TW would be just under 1000#.
I believe your TV is rated for a maximum TW of 1200#.

However, you also need to estimate how much vertical load the TT will impose on the TV.
With a properly-adjusted WDH, a load equal to about 20% of TW can be transferred to the TT's axles.
That means the vertical load on the TV can be held to about 800# -- assuming you load the TT to 7500# with 13% TW.

The WDH will add about 100# to the TV's cargo load, so the TT plus WDH will consume about 900# of the TV's payload capacity.
Given your sticker payload value of 1680#, means you would have about 780# of payload available for occupants and cargo.

It looks to me as though the 30RE would work with your TV.
