Towing Set Up (New to RVing)
So I am new to RVing, not trailering as we boat quite often, and I'm interested in running some specifications by everyone before I go out and purchase a TT. We have a 2010 Lexus GX460, V8, 4WD. Th...

The sticker states occupants and cargo not to exceed 1,155 pounds. So, if I assume that doesn't already include the driver, I would estimate the following:
CCC: 1,155#
Occupants: 650# (4 adults, 1 child, no gear)
Max Tongue Weight: 505#
Generators: 100#
WDH: 100#
Battery & Propane: 120#
Allowable Tongue Weight: 185#
A loaded tongue weight of 185# seems to be impossible with what I'm looking at doing.
The only way I think it may work is if I have two adults drive a second vehicle. This would give me ~300# additional and would move my loaded tongue weight to 485#.
I've been looking at the following models:
Jayco Jay Feather X213
Dry Tongue Weight: 450#
KZ Spree 220KS
Dry Tongue Weight: 488#
Keystone Outback 210RS
Dry Tongue Weight: 525#
It doesn't appear any of these models will fit into line with what I'm expecting my TV to do. With that in mind, any other suggestions on models that can still give me the capacity of 6 (4 adults, 2 kids) and will still allow me to mount the generator package somewhere that won't kill the frame of the trailer and won't affect the sleeping of a slide/fold out? Possibly one of the Trail-Lite Trail Cruisers? They seem to have a relatively low dry tongue weight (<400#) and overall dry weight (<3,800#) even in their 26' models.
At this point, changing my TV is not an option.
