Pappcam - how do you like the flagstaff? I think I should also look at bunk house options as well and this floor plan is very similar to the Rockwood Ultralight 2702SS

As an experienced Ram 1500 and TT owner, stick to below 6000lb dry and you should be fine. The biggest thing with a Ram is to increase tire air pressures and make the truck more stable while towing.

How does the Ram feel towing this? It says the hitch weight is 865lbs, that doesn't leave much payload????
The trailer my wife was in and liked was a Forest River Rockwood Ultra Lite - it was the 2703WS - the more I look at this floor plan the more I like it, I know having 2 boys I will have to drop the dinette and couch to sleep but at least I don't have to worry about bunks.

Now add the the wife,kids, bikes, toys, firewood and whatever else goes in the truck and subtract that. Add another 100 lbs for the hitch too. Then fill the water in the trailer, 2 full propane tanks, 2 batteries, food, clothes and all the other junk we bring with us. Then reweigh your 400lb tongue weight and see where you are at. I bet the 400 tongue is really not close to tgat in real life even with my Equalizer hitch.Mine is similar size and weight and we started with an F150 loaded to the max and a little. Switched to 3/4 ton and would necer go back. Rides better, more stable and peace of mind that we have lots of lbs to spare. Can you do it yes. Safe and recommended probably not. At least from my experience with a similar size and weight.
