Let's add another piece to the puzzle... What auxiliary tanks if any are you guys running along with your TC. Doing a quick search I see Titan sells a 50 gallon replacement tank or a 30 gallon spare tire location tank. Best bang for buck would be a tank/toolbox combo but that's mute with a TC installed.

I would be cautious in adding additional items that have exceptional weight when you are looking at your goals. One thing that you haven't asked or addressed is the ability to operate the vehicle, camper and trailer where it will feel comfortable with steering wheel in your hands, the seat under you posterior in going around curves, passing vehicles and off camber roads. There are many here that have expressed what a world of difference in switching to a better designed/equipped truck is over the previous truck they tried to make work with shoe horned add ons.

Oh, don't forget you will need to slow down and stop too.

I've stated before that everything I would want to do would need to be safely operational with my truck. I still need to weigh my rig and trailer but I think I'll be good with a reasonable sized TC and adding a auxiliary fuel or replacement tanks makes sense to me to increase my distance. Starting, stopping, and handling are all parts of the equation of choosing the right tc and reading the advice here. If all of those wasn't concerns I would have e cluelessly would have strolled into a relationship dealer.. . My original statement still stands that I'll just continue tent camping if something doesn't work out. Thanks for the welcome, learning a lot here.
