Anybody hauling their trike in a toy hauler?

Just curious as to the tongue weight of the newer toy haulers.
I looked at them several years ago and the issue wasn't towing capacity for my truck (Silverado DuraMax 4 x4) it was the tongue weight.
My truck doesn't have dual wheels so that put me a tad below the recommended tongue weight (for the trailer I liked) in my owner's manual.
I never got really serious about it but I figured that I could possibly go with higher rated tire and they would probably handle the extra weight.
My biggest issue is not with my truck, it's with my wife!
She refuses to ride in a motorhome and will NOT sleep anywhere except at home or in a nice motel.
I can't justify the expense of buying a trailer and the extra fuel to tow it and then pay again for a motel room.

This was my Ram, just traded it today for a new Toyota Tundra Platinum. I will say I miss the Cummins, 900ft/lbs of torque spoils you pretty quick.

Work and Play 34wrs
Hi Harley Dawg,
Just wondering if you went with the 34wrs? Looking at the same work and play and was wondering how your truck pulled it. Have a 2016 F350 SRW and was a little concerned with the tounge weight. Looking at the SwayPro Weight Distribution Hitch - 20,000 GTW / 2,000 TW in order to pull the trailer. Would like to hear your opinion and or thoughts with our truck/trailer package.
Ride Safe,
John

I just purchased a Ford F-350 dually with the diesel engine and 4x4 to pull a Keystone 419 44 foot trailer with a 13 foot garage, heated and air conditioned, two , and a great living room with FirePlace. I am just about ready to head south for the rest of the winter. My goal is to follow the sun and have no destination, ride an area and move to the next spot.
