Moving from tent camping to TT. We'd like to get some insight into what we should consider for max dry weight and best manufacturer choice for weekend type camping. We would like enough sleeping spots for 4-5. We don't know what a reasonable budget should be and might consider a used TT. Does anyone have suggestions?

Not meaning to be cheeky but I think that payload and wheelbase will suggest a popup. Work out what your allowable residual payload would be and then divide that by 0.15 and that would give you an idea of a GVWR to work with. By residual payload I mean the remaining payload after a full load of fuel, people and cargo are subtracted from your payload capacity. That is also your tongue load which should be below the hitch capacity less hitch assembly weight.
