Input Needed on Travel Trailer

Edit: Looking at the following travel trailer. I have a 2022 F250 Tremor 7.3 gas. What should my concerns be? Is the trailer doable for hitch weight? What item would you recommend if it is doable as far as maximizing towing safety?Have read some of the trailer/camping threads but thought I need more info for this specific trailer. Thanks for any input/suggestions.
I had a 36’ 7000lbs camper with a 1500 Chevy set up for 9000lbs towing capacity. I hated every thing over 35mph.
That’s the reason I went with the Tremor 250 w 6.7 diesel.
The trailer was better but still not a walk in the park. I now have a 36’ 5th wheel and go everywhere no issues.
My buddy had a gas 250 and had issues with a similar 5th wheel going up hill.
Recommend staying smaller in length than 36’. It gets freaking hairy on the highway!!
 
Currently tow a 38' Outback with the Tremor F250 Turbo Beast. Use a Hensley hitch, don't have any real issues towing. Would definitely recommend the Hensley for towing a long Travel Trailer. Hensleys (and Pro-Prides) have their quirks, but they more than make up for it in towing stability.

Just my 2 cents, I don't think I'd recommend a longer travel trailer with dual A/Cs at 30 Amps. Maybe the dual A/Cs are more efficient thant what I'm running. Also, as many have stated, there are many places a longer TT won't be able to get into, and in state parks especially, you limit the number of sites you can choose from since many of those parks have a limited number of longer spaces. We love our 38' trailer, great size for the family while still being somewhat compact compared to many of the larger 5th wheels. But if I were just buying for my wife and I, we'd probably go smaller for more access in National Parks and State Parks.

So true. We have a 35' and while it's workable, it's definitely on the larger end for all the national parks we've been hitting. Under 30' would be ideal for that, but I don't think I can do it until it's just my wife and me.

Two ACs on a 30a would work if you install easy starts (link) on them.
