Coming late to the party with a couple comments on the truck and trailer (which might start some discussion or debate).
Regarding a shortbed truck, your trailer GVWR will be about 16K lbs if/when fully loaded. You might check the max cargo capacity sticker on the truck driver door frame and see if it matches your expected carry weight. We have a 3231CK with a 16K GVWR and used 20% hitch weight and that put us close to being over on shortbeds so although it comes with some hassles, went with a long bed.
Had the truck and trailer weighed on certified scales and was surprised to find with no fresh water and flushed gray and black tanks that the hitch came in at 3300 lbs with the trailer weighing in the 13.5K range (will full tank of diesel + driver). We don’t boon-dock yet so we travel pretty empty.
Just in case it matters in other states, we live in CA (I know, I know) and trailers over 15K GVWR require a Class A recreational drivers license. Also, trucks over 12.5K GVWR have an increased weight fee.
Happy travels!
