Thats a whole lot of trailor, have you had any mods done to your rear suspension (such as helper springs or airbags) and what type of hitch equalizer system are you using?

Returning from my first long trip with the new trailer. It's a KZ Spree 230RBS. Just perfect for 2 and the dog. Pulls nicely.

I'm hauling one or 2 of my bikes : GSXR600, DRZ400SM, RS125 , XR100. so the 400+lbs in the front get kinda heavy fast + all the stuff that come with racing/track day.
when loaded it's real heavy on the hitch.
before I put helper bag , only with the 750lbs WD bar, the truck was sagging a bit(from a ~2" rake).
I take better decision when loading my stuff, like putting my tool bag at the back and filling the fresh water tank (situated at the back) help quite a lot...but nothing like the helper bag.
the newest one have a lower hitch weight and higher Gross weight then mine.(which is at is max whitout water in any of the tank :| )
still totally love my Outback, I can get to the track: level it, and sleep whitout having to unload bikes or anything else

Then you are going to have to find a small fiver with less than 1000# hitch weight. Which isn't going to happen. The hitch alone ways well over 100#.
I suppose there might be some short fivers with lower pin weight. You can usually figure pin weight at being 20% of total weight. So a small/lightweight fiver that is, say under 5000# would put pin weight at roughly 1000#. Of course, this assumes only one person in the truck.
Better to stick with a travel trailer, IMO.
