Maybe this
Your list is almost identical to what we were looking for. We finally find it in a FunFinderX 210UDS. We are very pleased with our choice so far. It fills our needs perfectly. But there are only two of us and our furry friend. We did get the slide awning cover and all power jacks and main awning. It tows great behind our 2010 F-150 5.4L crew. Good luck, there are many to choose from. Can't seem to upload the photo, but you can go to CruiserRV website and check it out.
Getting ready to pull the trigger on a 20-22 ft camp trailer. Looked at tons of different makes and models. This will be my first one (first camp trailer, not first time towing) and I want to do it right Is there ANYTHING all of you wish you had opted for? Things that you wish you had or you now miss having from a previous trailer that I should make sure to get?
Here is a short list of features the wife and I have grown to like from what we've seen:
-Walk around queen size bed (as opposed to a sideways mounted bed where someone is against a wall)
-pass through front storage (usually located under the bed in front of the trailer)
-not only a dinette but also a couch that folds into a bed. (awesome for extra sleeping options as well as seating when its pouring and everyone wants to pile into your trailer).
-bathroom located at the rear of the trailer (less cramped than those in the middle).
-We LOVE the popout options. A single pop out can make a 20 ft trailer feel like a 27 ft trailer space wise.
SO what do you all think? Anything we need to be sure to opt for or look into?

Camping at Stockton lake Missouri with my XLT 5.0 4x4off road and 22ft Fleetwood avalon. The 5.0 pulls the 6000gvw trailer with no problems. Bought it in April and taken it out several times and average 14mpg.

Looking for a quick answer and figured with plenty of subscribers to this thread it'd be the best way.
I found a good deal on a TT we like but here's the catch.
It's dry weight is 6,164lb with a hitch weight of 772lb. Unfortunately I can't find a wet hitch weight.
My 2011 5.0 w/ 3.73 has a payload of only about 1400lbs. Once the TT is loaded do you think I'd be too limited by being near the payload limit or being right near the line would be good? How much does loading the average TT increase hitch weight?
Thanks for the help!
