ok, so after heeding advice from you guys I did some checking and the 29fbss really would be pushing the limit on weight and I definatly want to be safe for my family.. so now it looks like we have to a little lighter and have to forego the outside kitchen for now.. we are now looking at the Superlite 27BESS it 1000 punds lighter and it has a nice lay out.. the bigger bunks.. the only thing I may be a little leary about is the kitchen slide.. any of you guys have any input for this trailer or kitchen slides in general? oh and yes that was a misprint my tow veichle is a 5.0 not a 5.7

Wow Pappcam I just noticed your trailer in your signature... how do you like it?

We love it but it's just me, the wife and the 6 year old daughter and a 50 pound dog. The mother-in-law has stayed in there with us when she visits as well so it suits our needs quite well.

The 2012 model I have has the single bunk over the double instead of the double over double that the new ones have. It's a little less claustrophobic for the person in the lower bunk.

I looked at bigger models with the outdoor kitchen when we bought but I realized I'd be pushing the limits of my truck so we went with the lighter trailer to give us a more pleasant drive. I'm not saying that you couldn't pull the 29FBSS and be satisfied with the drive, it's just that I thought the lighter model was a good fit for us.
