Need it for long term missions work camps all over US. Want to be able to pull it with a 1500 Silverado.
Welcome to the forum.
There's a lot of information available on here. If you're just starting out with trailer towing, there's a lot to learn.
All over the US --- You'll need to educate yourself on travel trailers in cold weather. IE; tank heat, insulation, humidity control, how to prevent pipe freezing, stinky slinky and hoses freezing, tank dumping procedures, etc.
Note: When you hear the term "heated tanks", you need to find out how those tanks are heated. There are varrying degrees of heated tanks. Flagstaff / Rocwood are part of the few manufacturers who install electric tank heaters as an option. Some manufacturers won't install them period.
Pulling with 1500 Silverado --- You'll need to educate yourself on towing terms (Payload, GVWR, GCVWR, receiver ratings, weight distribution hitches, tongue weight / hitch weight, sway control, etc). What are the definitions, limitations, and how are they inter-related? IE: Work camping may require bringing a lot of stuff. What it weighs and where you put it may impact what you can tow, or, what you are towing, may restrict what you can bring.
