Looking for a TH I can tow.

I have never owned a camper. Since I'm a newbie, I am looking for something well within the limits of my truck.

2013 F150 Supercrew, Ecoboost engine, 3.55 axle, 7100 GVWR, 1607 payload
I think I would do well to keep the tongue weight at 900 or less.
That means a loaded weight of 6000.
With two motorcycles weighing a total of 750, I'm probably looking for a camper at about 4500.

My travel load would be either:
Me alone with two motorcycles in the trailer together weighing 750 pounds or
me and 4 grandkids with no motorcycles.

The trailer must have at least one bed available without unloading, and should be able to sleep me and the 4 grandkids, maybe with adding a cot or an air mattress on the floor.

I looked at the Outback 230S, but at 5086 and 590 hitch weight (with the toys to be loaded near the tongue), I think maybe it is too heavy. In prior years it was 200-300 pounds heavier. From what I have read, most trailers weigh more than the published specs.

Anybody towing a 230S with a half ton?

I don't see anything else in the Keystone stable that looks half ton towable.
