I have considered all of the options recommended and am still considering an upgrade. Mostly because I really am unhappy with many features of this trailer. Considering that the weight probably isn't my biggest issue regarding mileage would it be safe to say that if I went to a lightweight fifth wheel I wouldn't suffer much more as far as mileage? I have a hard time finding a travel trailer that fits me well. Being 6'1" most travel trailers make for a bad night sleep. I have been considering a light fifth wheel like the zinger. It weighs about 8,000 lbs. I appreciate the feedback here since I feel the dealer just tells me anything to sell the trailer. Thanks
