I tow a Flagstaff Super lite 29fbss. The name has changed but is the same basic set-up. Has 3 bunks in the rear with a bedroom door. This was important to us because are kids are getting bigger and like to have a little time to themselves sometimes. They have a TV in their room and a lot of storage space for their things. Has a queen bed in the front and what I think is a nice area to sit and eat in the main area. The TV is at the center of the main room by the bedroom but it has a nice mount that allows you to bring it out to a better angle. Ours has the emerald package which weighs a little over 400lbs. Puts the dry weight at 6400lbs. This one was a great deal so we took it with this option. It includes some nice things to look at but the extra 400lbs is sort of wasted. Anyway it is probably about 7200-7400 depending on the trip. I have an 07 1500 chevy with the 5.3 and 3.73 gears. It knows it is back there. It tows relatively well considering what it is dragging down the road but it is a whole lot different than my older 5000lb trailer. I will be upgrading the truck in the next few years because this truck may be rated for 7500lbs but it isn't as safe, strong or prepared for the load that I'm towing. With that said, until then I will still camp. We will still go to the mountains and the beach but I will have to travel slower and pay much more attention to the TV service and such. Enjoy whatever you get. I don't think there is anything wrong buying a trailer because of the layout including the tv location. It will be yours and you should enjoy everything about it.
