Trying to find this floorplan

Also in the manual it states to not use a weight or load leveling hitch.

So the Atlas has about a 1400lb payload capacity. So if I always hook up for electricity and put my propane tank in the car instead of the trailer, and pack lightly this still seems to make sense. It would only be my wife and I traveling. Am I still crazy?

Very true that it is what the trailer can hold. With a empty weight of 3800 lbs add a battery and propane you are around 4000. Another thing is a lot of manufacturers do not include things like the AC unit in the trailers empty weight either.
Here you see the empty trailer you are looking at is 3958 before battery and propane and weight distribution hitch which all 3 are necessities.

Add another 220 lbs avg for those 3 you're up to 4205lbs before you put anything of your own in the trailer. It's very very easy to put 800lbs worth of stuff in a trailer reaching your max tow limit of 5000. At that 5000lbs you could have a tongue weight of anywhere from 500lbs to 750 lbs. If your SUV has a payload capacity of lets just say 1000 lbs you take that 750 from 1000 it leaves you with 250lbs to put into your suv before you are over your SUVs GVWR. Will you only have 250lbs worth of passengers and cargo in the SUV while towing?

If I were you and really want a trailer to tow with your SUV I would highly look into the RPod models....here is one that may fit your needs

Payload and receiver ratings are typically exceeded well under tow ratings for (assuming) mid-sized SUVs. Just pay attention to those also. RV veterans, can you move on and also answer OP's questions about floorplan and similar TTs?

So my SUV can pull up to 5000 pounds and I am trying to see if any other company sells this floorplan. This one works but there aren’t any available within like 2 states. I like that the bedroom is in the back, all solid walls, and the couch and dinner is table all face the tv area. Does anyone know of anyone else?


EDITED: New model, Coachman 213RDS, only weighs 3806 dry weight!

Only 3806 dry with a GVWR of 6000lbs which is over your tow capacity. You need to look at your payload capacity most importantly too as others have said. Also what is your SUV??? How many occupants will you have in the vehicle while towing and what would the total weight of they be? Being a 5000lb capacity I bet its a smaller SUV with a 700lb cargo capacity and towing that trailer you would most likely be over all the SUVs capacities......we need more info!!!!

Try rvtraders.com. Using the filters on that site and you can find the exact model you are looking for. It lists one at Family RV, which is out of California, but I don't know how close that is to you.

Good luck!!!

What is the payload of your SUV? You can find it on the tire sticker on the driver’s door jamb.
This is usually more important than the tow rating.

Dry weight is only 3800. I was thinking with a propane tank and batteries maybe 4200? That’s not bad right?

If you/wife are tall be aware that the “Queen Bed” is a short Queen it is only 75” deep!
