Years ago when I was single I purchased a used truck camper, A 11.5 foot unit. Put it on a 3/4 ton truck and stuck a 2 x 2 tube in the hitch as a extension for the trailer ball. I pulled my Hobie or small fishing boat everywhere. I had a blast, but then came a family, and they get crowded with more than 3 people. Yup, they can be heavy but the right truck and air springs and your set. The fold down kind are lighter but you loose storage space. When the kids are gone I will get rid of the travel trailer and move back to the truck camper.
