thanks for the help thus far everyone. I'm not new to the world.. simply this site..
Tow vehicle is new F150 crew cab with 5.0. Most stories on here are folks wanting to tow 5K# with their '03 Escape 4cyl... Not my situation; I want my trailer to be as efficient (in all respects) as possible.
I will most certainly focus on the 'dry weight.' From the comfort of my couch it's the best way for me to narrow down my choices for further research; I completely understand my loaded weight will likely be an additional +/- 1K#
Heated Tanks- I'm expecting nothing better than electric heat tape/pads. No four seasons camping, but may see some fall outings that dip below freezing.
The trailer will be stored indoors and I've got a 10x10 door to work with (additional height once inside)and conservatively 25' depth.
Much thanks to those who have tossed out some manufacturer names...that's exactly what i'm after. There are simply too many manufacturers out there. Livin Lite had never ever crossed my radar; not sure I would've found them without someone dropping their name here!
My best find prior to posting here has been the Rockwood Mini Lite 2306.
Keep em coming guys. And thanks again.
