I created a spreadsheet as part of my research for our first TT. I'm looking primarily at models with a bunk house room and at least one slide. Figured I would share the sheet in case anyone found it interesting. Let me know if you see an bunk house room model I haven't considered. I am assuming a conservative 20% transfer of tongue weight to trailer axles in my TW calculation, per various posts on the subject.

I'm not real familiar with Google docs, but I think if you want a copy you can muck with, choose "file->make a copy". Your truck capacities can be set on the second sheet. As currently composed it's using the capacities for my F-150.

Thanks!
