Ultra light weight TT

I am looking for a TT with a queen bedroom (with a door), bunkbeds that raise and lower, slide out (superslide or normal slide) and the TT needs to be about 28ft. My truck is a 2016 Silverado 1500 crew cab 5.3 v8, 3.42.gear ratio, towing capacity is 9300lbs, GCVWR is 15,000lbs and cargo is 1545lbs. Does anyone have any thought on a model that will work with my truck?

    Starcraft Launch UltraLite 28BHS.
    GVWR is 7250.
    Curtain between bedroom and living room. Pocket door available as option. I'm about to add a pocket door on mine. I'll post the mod. Should cost around $75.

    Well within your tow range (even for the 3/4 ton or nothing folk):)

    You can throw that cargo number out and weigh your truck with everything you'd take with you on a trip and a full tank of gas. Subtract that from your truck's GVWR and that is your cargo (payload) number. If you get close to either of those other numbers you'll be out of payload capacity and overloaded. Keep that in mind, good luck in your search!

    I have a Dutchmen Lite, good TT but you cannot walk on the roof.

    Don't forget the WD hitch. Look at the numbers on the hitch it self.
