1200lbs - weight of your family - weight of your gear - weight of your hitch - 13 percent of your trailers loaded weight = available payload. This needs to be a positive number. keep in mind things like propane and a battery and pots and pans and water and bedding and any other stuff you put in the trailer is not included in its weight. Heck some options aren't even included. I personally think you are looking at a smaller camper or bigger truck but with careful planning you could sneak inside the numbers by just a hair.
