Just an FYI... Your payload is like mine only 1500 lbs... I started off with a 4730 lbs trailer in my sig.. with a 541 lb TW... Just loading my stuff, propane and another battery Im up to 740 lb TW...
Only leaves 700 lbs for stuff in the truck...
I did weigh my truck... I have 1460 lbs payload. Thats me 200 lbs and a full tank of fuel 34 gallons in the truck at time of weigh...
Leaves me 720 lbs for wife, two kids, and a lot of **** in the bed of the truck..
Ive been overweight a few times im sure...
But can you imaging if I started with a larger trailer????
It may be hard to find what your looking for with a slide. I purposely bought a non slide model becuase
1. Its my opinion all slides will leak
2. To keep the weight down...
3. and it allows me to put 2200 lbs of stuff in the trailer...
Make sure you jot down the CCC of the trailers you look at...
Some i've seen barely have 1000 lbs CCC's..
