I understand the concern. I had them as well. However with three kids this is really a perfect floor plan.

I've weighed my current trailer loaded for a standard long weekend and I only have about 500 lbs of stuff. If I pack the bikes inside the trailer I'm up to about 600.

I will never full time as someone else as someone else mentioned. At least not until the kids are grown and gone.

I will most definitely be heavy going to Alaska as I'll pack for every contingency. But if I have payload in the truck I can put stuff in the bed as well.
