Who makes the lightest 50 amp bunkhouse trailer?
Our friends want to tow a brand new travel trailer with their 2014 Toyota Tundra 4WD Platinum CrewMax which has a towing capacity of only 9k and maximum tongue weight of only 900 or less. They want 2 AC units, bunkhouse, 50 amps. What brand new travel trailer would YOU recommend?
Thank you for your help, with warm regards, James??
Max tongue weight of 900 lbs or less and two A/C units?
Typically two A/C units are put on LONG trailers, like 30+ feet..
I think they will need to dial back their expectations, a lot.
9K with 900 lb tongue is only 10% tongue weight..
That is absolutely too light of tongue weight.
Tongue weight typically should range from 10% to 15%, aiming for 13%-15% results in a far more stable tow.
SOOOO.. 900 lb tongue weight at 15% gets you a trailer LOADED at a max of 6000 lbs!
They will need to be looking for a trailer with a empty weight of no more than 5,000 lbs..
So much for the supposed over rated "9000 lbs of towing" ratings..
Sorry.
