Toy Haulers with garage under 10'6" with made up bed.

Not familier with the term "made up bed". What does that mean? Made-up vs. messy? :)

The KZ models you mentioned look really neat.

Walk Around Bed? I have one, but your 1/2 ton isn't enough truck.

It is going to be tough to find that in a 150/1500 tow vehicle. Though looking at your requirements, the heights may be another difficulty. Even the Work & Play are 10' 10" (see LINK).

Good luck. You may be dreaming a bit too much to meet those requirements.

BTW, welcome to the forum.

Ha ha....I'm not sure if I'm using the correct term. What I want is not to have to fold down the dining table or anything like that to have a bed. The KZ MXT303 has a walk around bed but the Fun Finder XT-276 has a queen bed but not a walk around. Kinda have to get into it from the end instead of the sides.

My new 2015 Sierra 1500 with the 420 Horse motor and Heavy Duty Trailering Package has a trailer rating of 11,900 lbs. The Fun Finder weighs 5200 dry. I think I'll be alright.

Yeah, so far in my searching I like the KZ MXT-303 the best. There are so many different trailer manufacturers that I'm just wondering if there are others like it.

I was going to suggest the Work and Play 27ulbs which has a seperate bedroom and garage but the bed is not a walk around. To get a walk around bed you would have to get the 30wr or 30wrs but It would be too much trailer for your truck. But then I checked on the KZ MXT 303 trailer you mentioned and came across this dealer that just sold one. For this price I would buy new and drive to go get it. I like the trailer alot and I have a work and play.. Heck I drove to Texas to get mine and got a heck of a deal.. Sometimes you can drive and save...

You cant be picky when using a half ton. im in the same boat. I got a ram 1500 . When i hear half ton towable now, I raise my eyebrows. All that stuff is just sales slogans. And dont let a dealer tell you how much you can tow. Ask the folks on here. I made that mistake. Im looking at trading my truck in cause of this same scenario. How long of one can you get by with? The shorter the better. I wouldnt touch that MXT303 trailer! My payload is only around 1400 (which is probably around what yours is). That MXT303 trailer is almost 1000 dry hitch weight , so they havent added the battery or lp tanks yet. Now add your supplies and everybodys body weight and voila.... youre way over . Thats the problem with the toy haulers for half tons, not the towing capacity. Check the payload on your truck. Try to get as light of a tongue weight as you can. If you do stay with your half ton, beef up the suspension and add airbags. You might want to get some good tires too. Choices are so damn limited. One thing that will always help is to add weight to the back to relieve tongue weight. I think something around 600 pounds would be much better but its hard to find in the lengths you and i want(which are the same). I would love to be able to throw a quad or bike in my bed with firewood and still pull the toy hauler with a half ton. Maybe one of these years youll be able to. If i said something wrong, someone here please correct me. I would love to get either the keystone carbon 27ft, the funfinder youre looking at, or one of the hyperlites. But, I dont think I will be safe. Here are some You might want to look at, but ALL the hitch weights scare me:
Lance 2212 /2612
24HFS - XLR Hyper Lite
VRV quicksilver (ugly interior in my opinion)
keystone carbon (various models)
Good luck and let us know what u decide cause i think a lot of people are in this situation.
