Not sure how many people follow any YouTube full timer blogs, but one of our favorite ones "Keep Your Daydream" just upgraded their rig to a 2018 Reflection 312BHTS.

At 17:17 there is a short discussion on how they had to change last minute to sticking with a TT rather than moving to a 5'er (they were planning on a Momentum). They were caught off guard when the 250 they bought recently didn't have nearly enough payload capacity to tow the Momentum.

If you haven't seen any of their videos they are pretty good for someone who is just starting out and wants to gain some good lessons learned. I don't particularly watch any that are just of the travels (not my thing watching others have fun haha) but I do watch a lot of their "how to, top 'X', Must have... etc". videos

Until you run the numbers, you don't realize just how big a difference there is between a TT and a FW.

Its the difference between 10% and 25% that gets you. A 12,000 lb TT will put something around 1200-1800 lb on the ball, while the same weight in a FW takes 2400-3000 lb of available payload capacity.

Couple that with the fact that many first time FWers are moving up from a somewhat smaller TT, and we see why that perfectly fine 3/4 Ton truck just won't cut it (ratings-wise) for a medium-large FW.
