Good evening, New to the forums.... so thanks in advance to everyone. I'm an insurance adjuster who travels 200 plus days out of the year that recently did the math and figured out how much sh...

Similar to that, in lightweights about that size, I would look at Lance (model 1985 has a reasonably large bath). Almost every major manufacturer has at least one model with a similar living arrangement, and there are other arrangements that might make better use of the space. In the model you are looking at, the outdoor kitchen uses up a lot of living or storage space, and this is a feature used primarily for outdoor entertainment, a different use than what you are asking about.
For what you want to do, an issue in my mind is that you have no control over the climate you are going into, and I don't know that any lightweight construction travel trailers are being built with four-season use in mind. You might have to downsize you idea of the space you need to get something more suitable for winter, particularly, at a weight you can handle.
Not lightweight, but well made (molded fiberglass), Bigfoot's 25B25FB has a nice layout for extended living. It may be at about the limits of your tow vehicle, and could stretch the budget, but in terms of construction and long term durability, it approaches the much more expensive Airstreams, and those are not really four-season.
Northwood builds some nice four-season models in conventional framed construction. Look at 22G in Arctic Fox Classic, 22H in their Nash line. Northwood models have an option to be generator ready, if you expect to go into areas where there are no utility services. When I was shopping in 2005, Northwood was selling in Missouri. An Arctic Fox 22H was at the top of our list, until we figured out that the way we would use a RV, a motorhome worked better for us.
