Does anyone know of a lite weight travel trailer good for a couple that could be towed with an SUV?

Thanks. So I think that the my TT purchasing chronicle is about over. 2005 Jayco JayFlight 29FBS, 7000lb unladen weight, 8800lb GVWR. My Expy has a max tow of 8700, so w/ that being said, I believe that I am going to be ok towing & maneuvering this one with the weights being as they are.
You need to check and see what your max tongue weight is. Both of ours (03,07) are limited to either 800 or 900 pounds I believe due not to the payload but rather the rear suspension. The trailer you are looking at would have over 900 lbs tongue weight dry at 13% and over 1100 lb fully loaded.
Other than the limited tongue weight I really like towing with ours. The 03 is slower up the really steep grades but I still prefer it. On the open road it is buttery smooth and I forget the trailer is back there.
