I would go as light as possible if you plan to tow 5k.
The 1030 is a lot of camper (wet rolling down the road...4000#).
Personally if I were going to tow that much again on a regular basis, I would be looking at a non-slide lighter model Northstar camper.
Lance dry weights on 1030 models did not incl. any options. The average option list for Lance is 400-500#. Now add your personal stuff (which adds up real fast) . A lot of folks add 1500# to a given dry weight once they go to a scale and get "scale shocked" . At $7.00 for an average CAT scale weigh in, its one of the best "shocking" deals in America.
Can your tires and wheels do the job to support all the weight on the rear axle ?
