No way you'll be running just 500 lbs of gross tongue weight with a bunkhouse trailer of the size you're talking about ... more like 750 to 850 lbs. I ran an average 750 lbs with our previous 24' KZ Spree 240BH which typically weighed ~ 5500 lbs loaded and ready to camp, with our current 19' Coachmen Freedom Express 192RBS weighing an average 4500 lbs ready to camp I typically run ~ 600+ lbs gross tongue weight. Towing a heavier trailer as you're talking about and you'd better count on a gross tongue weight much greater than just 500 lbs. :R
Just going by what I have read on the specs in the brochures. I know some are significantly more, some less.. Im averaging because I am not firm on size yet. All i know is I want a bunkhouse, and I plan to stay within rated capacities of the vehicle.
