Seeking th perfect Couples Trailer - just me and my wife ...

I'm trying to find the perfect "Couples Trailer" for just me and my wife. I'm 6'2" but can deal with a short mattress if necessary. We are first timers but have been looking and asking lots of quest...

The cargo capacity of your tow vehicle is the limiting factor. None of your calculations seem to include the tongue weight of the trailer. Your sheet indicates you have 674 lbs of cargo capacity left over after figuring the weight of the TV and contents. So, the hitch weight of the trailer, plus the weight of the WD hitch (about 100lb) better not be more than 674 lbs.

Good luck with that.


That Spreadsheet I posted allows for a Tongue Weight = 438 lbs.
