Advice for newbie

Two points.

First, don't worry about the naysayers who think you need a 1 ton dually, to tow anything over 5K. I am on my second 5er, and have towed both with a 3/4 ton. I cannot do 70 mph through the mountains, but I don't want to go over 65 anyway.

Second, I would carefully consider if you really want a washer/dryer. They not only add weight to your trailer, they take up a considerable amount of space. In looking at recent models, I did not see anything less that 34' that had a w/d hookup. And you still have to pop an extra $1200 for the w/d. Another consideration is where will all that grey water go. You might be limiting your campsite selection to full hook-up only. If you have a w/d you have to use it regularly, or the seals will dry up. I don't know about you, but I could do a lot of loads at the campground laudry for $1200.
