[QUOTE="JPKII, post: 16649901, member: 12867"] We have been debating a camper (tow-behind or motorhome) for a number of years now. I'd suggest going to any RV dealer and talking with them about your truck and reasonable towing expectations with proper hitches and load leveling equipment. Once you understand your safe weight potential, then you can dig into what trailer you want. My rule of thumb is 50% of the advertised towing capacity. Once you get north of 50% your odds are decreasing quickly. With toy haulers you have many options for accessories. Some of them that I liked were outdoor showers, awnings over the back of the trailer so you have a party deck or covered area to chill out, onboard fuel stations (gas pumps), solar/lithium supplemental generators, outdoor cooking stations (some included a TV), and slide-outs with automatic leveling systems. Seperation of the garage from the living quarters is also important to consider (smell of the toys invading the living quarters and how much are you or your family willing to deal with for a weekend). Materials on the garage floor and walls also vary. In February we have the [URL='https://www.chicagorvshow.com/']Chicago RV & Camping show[/URL] in Rosemont IL. It would be worth a trip from Dayton. You'll get to see first-hand all the different models and options. We go every year and continue to learn what is important to us. You'll also get the best deals there. So be prepared to buy... They have banks and financing institutions on-site. [/QUOTE]
