thing is probably too big for our truck and as a newbie completely terrifies me to tow.
Andrew, herein lies the issue. Lack of experience. If you had towing experience, you'd realize that 8000lbs and 32' long is not alot different on the road than 6000lbs and 26' long.
Driving and backing into tight areas, longer trailer may be more of a challenge.
Tongue weight is not an issue AT ALL, within reason. A 1200lb tongue weight with the right wdh will feel like a 500lb tongue weight on a small trailer.
As far as actual camper model with 2 "work stations", idk, never seen a normal camper that would have suitable space for 1 good work station, even including the kitchen table.
Although if I was a camper company, I would make the "executive" line or some **** that offers, hot rod wifi router, 2 big huge desks (that double as bunks or a bar or whatever) with real office chairs, pullout for keyboard or standing work station, anchors for monitors, big battery and inverter setup so you can run the 'puters all day, separate rooms for each work area and sell the chit out of them to those who are using the Rona as an excuse to not go to their office and using as an advantage to vacation instead.
Truck?
Get ALL the fluids changed/flushed. New Thermostat. Get the spark plugs out of it and replaced before they weld themselves completely in. Maybe new shocks. New tires if it has original 27k mile tires and hit the road. It's a good truck and it'll pull all day long up any hill with 8klbs. Not the "best" rig power wise compared to new rigs but I've run the wheels off of many Ford 5.4s and a trip X country and back with a travel trailer wont hurt it one bit.
