I looked at the White Hawk 23MRB, and I'm wondering about your choice of this TT. Do you really want the outdoor kitchen? Will it be just you? For a new unit, Jayco is a good choice as they come with a 2 year warranty.
My other concern is you don't seem to have a grasp on your trucks capabilities, at least from your posts. Do you know what payload is? Do you know that payload is exceeded before tow capacity? Do you know what weights subtract from a TV's payload?
Tongue weight is one of them and this particular unit will have a tongue weight that exceeds 750 lbs.
I think you should bone up your trucks capabilities before going further. You can't just pick a TT based on how much it appeals to you. Dealers will not be truthful. riding around the country in an overloaded TV will not be a good experience.
Start by posting the information on the door jamb sticker, particularly the one that states cargo and passenger weight not to exceed xxx lbs. Do you have any aftermarket accessories installed on the truck?
Good points. It is quite possible that you could wind up grossly overweight once you hook up.
Remember trailers advertised dry or shipping weights are meaningless. You will be adding a lot of weight in clothes, food, cooking supplies etc to the bare trailer weight.
Also please remember only a very select few RVs are actually comfortable to be in when temps start to dip below 40 degrees. When it gets down to 20 things start to freeze up real fast. Not a lot of fun burning through a hundred dollars worth of propane a week just to maintain 60 degrees inside.
