Kids?

edit: looking at aerolite's site you were looking at a rear kitchen without bunks so I'm assuming no kids

I've been seeing these more often slingshot

Heritage Glen looks roomy

I've never actually bought from them but their search tool is pretty sweet.

I recommend no more than 4500 lbs dry. Look for "ultra-light" class of trailers.

My Passport is 33' bumper to ball and is 6200 lbs loaded.

The lightest per length TT I have seen is Crossroads Slingshot. Check out the 27RB. 5700 pounds means over 6500 pounds loaded. Towing a travel trailer is hard work for the tow vehicle. It's much taller, and a little wider than every TV, so aerodynamics are huge to overcome. 4000 pounds dry if you intend to keep your current truck for any length of time.
