We upgraded from a 24 foot travel trailer to a 33 foot travel trailer this summer. We are towing with a Ford F150 with Eco Boost engine. The truck is rated to tow up to 9600 and our TT is 6500 so we...

So considering ways to reduce my payload to make this work and I just chatted with my husband. For our trip in June we will take the heavy wheelchair out of the truck and travel with the lightweight one in the camper instead. This takes 300-350lbs of payload off the truck.
I am also tossing the idea of bringing crates and securing them in the camper and letting the dogs ride back there as well but I don't feel right about that. I'm not sure why I used to show farm animals and they all rode in a trailer and I never thought twice about that. But the dogs are more of my family I guess.
Anyway 2 dogs out of the truck and in the camper gives me 200lbs more of payload. This would give me the 500 or so I was short on tongue weight.
Or could find someone to watch the dogs for this trip and leave them home.
And we discussed trading the vehicle in for an F250 or perhaps a full size van that can handle the cargo and the camper.
Lots to think about, thanks for forcing me into this exercise. :)
