Thanks again. Just looked at a Grey Wolf 22'BH and could make it work by using the bunk bed area for our glass ware. It is a 2013 with a dry weight of 4115 lbs. The GVWR is 7590 with cargo capacity of 3437 lbs. which we would never get near. Our product and personal supplies would be around 1500lbs. max. We would fill water at trade shows but 2 filled propane tanks. Two people in truck with about 150lbs. in bed. Total weight of loaded trailer should be below 6000 lbs.
Just an FYI, BH usually stands for Bunk House. Nearly every trailer I have ever seen with a bunk room storage access has always had a max gear weight of 250 lbs in the bunk area. If you look at the Forest River website they have about a dozen lines of toy haulers. IMO you want a toy hauler or a work and play as you need to haul 1500 lbs of show stuff. I think you will find loading in and out the standard RV door is problematic and actually increase repair cost to the door and door area as well as floor and interior. Toy Haulers are better equiped for this. If you stay down in the 20 ft or less range you should have no problems particularly with the Grey Wolf, Hyper Light, or the Wolf Pup lines. They all have dry weights at 5000lbs or less with the tongue weight % closer to 12% vs 16% of the bigger units and each will have more cargo cap then you need over 2500lbs. Finally, as for your payload, being that your door sticker is down at 1300lbs your best and most accurate way to determine your actual payload capacity is to get the truck weighed with you, spouse and any gear you will not or can not put in the trailer and subtract that number from your GVWR listed on the door sticker. This will give you the actual max payload. Also remember, as previously mentioned every pound in the trailer only adds a percentage to the truck. A quick way to gain about 100lbs of payload is drop the truck's spare and put it in the trailer. Good Luck and happy RVing
