I'm starting to lean toward a TT vs. class C. Price and limited availability of ~25' C's, along with feeling more comfortable about hauling a TT after reading this forum, has me thinking in that direction. Couple more weeks should allow a decision.
Before I get too far down the path, how about some comments on specs to make sure I'm reasonably in the ball park with my existing TV and potential trailer choices:
TV 2003 F150 5.4L 3.73 80k mi runs perfect
Tow rated 7100#
GVWR 6750 GCVW 12,500
Trailer choices 25' Rockwood Mini Lites
UVW ~ 4700 CCC ~1425 = GVWR ~6125
So 6125gvwr + 6750gvwr = 12875gcwr or 375# over spec if maxed out
I realize this is hypothetical without weighing everything, but am I close to being "safe"? I plan on an Equalizer WDH or similar.
