TT shopping frustration

from the info i see online the 2010 titan has a 9500 lb tow capacity which makes it well within tow specs for most trailers 30 ft or less. I have an 05 Springdale with 4 rear bunks with dry weight 6300 lbs. General rule of thumb is hitch weight is about 10% of dry weight, so i'd be at 630 lbs. You are 900 plus and have plenty of options. you can reduce hitch weight a bit by loading heavier cargo items (like mother-in-laws) closer to the back of trailer, and get yourself an Equal-i-zer brand hitch rated for 10k lbs and you are in business. Dry weight is indeed a good, useful starting point for making sure you are OK. Take my camper as an example. Most folks are not anywhere near an extra 2000 lbs of cargo on top of that unless you purposely pull around with all 3 holding tanks full, and water/waste water is about 8 lbs per gallon, so let's say you had (3) 50 gallon tanks, that would add 1200 lbs to the mix. Just be sure to tow with at least the waste water tanks mostly empty whenever you can, and you reduce GVW and tongue weight both by doing so. when you camp with no hookups you would prob fill your fresh water tank so you can have it for the trip, and that's fine. So I would say most trailers my size or less would fit your truck quite well, lots of options in that weight range leaving extra capacity when you need it.
