    We're committed to get something for short trips (week or less), and have looked at lots of alternatives. We've come down to a small hard side trailer, maybe the one Dan Blanton got last year. I don't understand the Class A and C rigs for fishing. You can tow a boat, but you're pretty stuck if you need to move around. Pop ups are out because of the hassle and my wife has a bear phobia. Having a bear visit us ON a houseboat recently didn't help. Truck campers aren't that comfortable for two and we don't have a full size truck, plus you have the same issue with a motorhome--camper jacks are a hassle if you want to move around. Solo I can still use a tent or sleep in my SUV, but for the two of us an 18-20' trailer seems to be the best option?

    I think having a nice bed is important.

    One you can get around on both sides so it is easier to make up.

    Take your time looking.....

    It's also nicer when you have two older people that usually have to pee during the night. With the island bed you don't have to crawl over the other. I will not get anything without twins or an island bed. Most of the better RVs have them now.

    In other states you see people towing three in a row.

    Truck, 5th wheel and a boat on a trailer.

    Another way is truck with a canopy with a boat on top and a standard travel trailer.

    This is the old way........

    I think Rick Jorgensen is going that way.

    Been using an ALiner for a few years now. hard-sided A frame pop up . very light, easy to tow (i tow ours with a Toyota Highlander) and sets up completely in about 60 seconds. Has AC, heater,stove, refrigerator.
    Best,

    I think these are a really good choice for something small and light.
