We also have to keep in mind I don't have plans for any 12% grade climbing which is what the capacity is judged by.

That type of trailer is designed for perminate camping, or seasonal. A one ton Truck should be towing a trailer like this, not a 1/2 ton. Forget the fact that the numbers might add up, It’s not safe.

Would you happen to be able to measure how large the battery support area is on the tongue? I'm looking into a battery box that can hold 2 trojan 6v batteries. It is 12.6" x 16.7" and wondering if it would fit unmodified.

Welp... Since our prior discussion, I've racked up nearly 2k miles of towing including through the Blue Ridge and Smokey Mountains with no trouble whatsoever. Using the blue ox wdh. And no, it's not a park model, it's still a TT.

Just in case anyone else is curious... The battery box sits on angle irons in between the frame. It's cramped already with the single box.
