Small travel trailer towing

[treypal]

I am looking at getting a Forest River Micro Lite 21' travel trailer. It's got a pretty low tongue weight, and weighs 3500ish dry. Anyone have experience towing a trailer like this with Deavers or Nationals? My deavers are setup for an extra 600lbs. I think I should be fine, and I am considering adding a weight distributing hitch to make everything right. Before we buy, I want to make the dealer hook it up to my truck just to make sure.

Lets see your Raptor towing a small travel trailer.

Does anyone have any ultra-light travel trailer suggestions? I like the Micro Lites configuration, plus it has a queen bed, nice interior, etc... My wife is all for it too!

We were riding bikes the other day and spotted one, sort of sparked our interest.

My trailer is a 25ft living 27 total length and I've towed it with my stock springs and the Nationals. It towed fine with the stock but you can really tell the difference with the Nationals.
It just feels more stable. My Nationals are also set up for towing.
I have the stabilizer bars and the anti-sway bar. I believe the trailer weights around 4300lbs.
Here is my trailer.

I tow a Forest River 34' Windjammer 3008W. It's about 7000lbs + dry and no issues. I use the Equal-i-zer distribution and leveling hitch for mine. Equal-i-zer® Hitch - The “American Original” with 4-Point Sway Control™ and Weight Distribution

I'm stock right now and I ride low in the back but not low enough to worry to much as long as I watch the speed and road condition. I do plan on upgrading to RPG Stage 3 w/ the longer bumps for towing though.

I don't have pictures but I tow a 2012 bullet 281bhs with equalizer hitch and have no issues. Dry weight is around 5400lbs dry weight, at least 1000lbs in trailer and 500lbs in the bed with no issues towing anywhere. Only downside I think about ultra lite trailer is they sit to low to ground. I tore off the rear trailer jacks bottoming out on my third trip. Cost me hundred dollars to get new ones.

Nice floorplan, the wife and I have discussed a similar one.
Good idea on having the dealer do a hook up for you. When I was in the RV biz we did that from time to time. BTW-Every RV dealer has a used weight distributing hitch lying around, so don't let them BS you into thinking they have to open and assemble a new WD for you.
