I'm looking for a new travel trailer, and I don't know where to start. My budget is $20-25K, and I'm looking for a bunkhouse trailer with a bunk room, not just bunk beds. Two models that have a floor plan I like are the Forest River Wildwood X-Lite 282QBXL and the Keystone Passport 2920BH. Is there anything about either of those that I should look out for? The Wildwood is Aluminum sided and the Passport is fiberglass sided. Is there another brand that has a similar floor plan that might be better?
Keystone 625 TW so look at like 825 or more. Thats a lot of weight for the silvy IMO..
Same with wildwood. 636 tw..
Your best bet, and just my opinion and what I do/did,
Go to cat scale and get truck weighed. Front and rear axles separate. Costs about 10 bucks..
Fill tank and put all passengers in truck and any gear you may put in bed.
weigh truck
Take the axle weights on the sticker on the door and subtract from the scale weights. That will tell you exact payload left and determine what travel trailer you should be looking at..
Anything else posted here is really a guess. We dont know what you weigh, kids and wife weighs, what gear you will bring, etc etc..
We can only guesstimate from experienced 1500 silvy owners.
I can only stress to add a larger trans cooler in series with the existing cooler..
Set up myself.. went to scales to verify.
Remember 545 tw listed came out to 750 lbs tw loaded without food and clothes for 4 people.
Before sag, sumos
