Dual Axle vs single is a big plus, ground clearance for driveway dips and rises imp.

As to weights remember each gallon of water is about 8.3 pounds. Affects weight distribution, handling, stress and strain of components not to mention mpg. Make sure the tank is supported enough to carry the full weight including dynamic loads while driving or you may end up with drooping, dropped tank! Best to get enough for the road and add more when you get to destination or close to the destination. As you go around turns the water does tend to shift and slosh though some tanks have nice barriers to slow the process down, though on slippery conditions it still has an effect.


Manage the tires and get a monitor or check em often. You sure do have plenty truck its just the size of the trailer that you are comfortable with. Also remember if you like state, local and federal parks the number of spaces available is inversely related to length.... longer units fit in fewer spots, and smaller units can go virtually anywhere even in tent sites if willing to do without water and sewer!


All the best in your adventures.

Look at the 2201mb we have looked extensively for a couples model and haven’t found anything we like more than this model. It still has 7000lbs GVR. And they raised ceiling inside to 6’8”. My wife and I are both over 6’ so the extra 4 inches this year is great.

I see you're using a truck. Great, and a 3/4 ton; even better. People with pickups typically use the truck bed as a gigantic storage compartment full of boxes of A to Z. That leaves the trailer's storage for water of all colors, clothes, and next day needs. You will just need to have a mindset that you don't load the trailer first, and put overflow in the truck second. Be strategic, and you will do well.
