I'm not necessarily stuck on the smallest things I can get, but it will be just me traveling for the forseeable future. I'm a single guy with no kids, so I don't have a need for a house on wheels. Rather just a place to sleep, and make dinner inside if needed. I also don't want to end up with a super heavy trailer if I can avoid it. I'm sure the truck will handle it just fine, but why lug all that extra weight around if I don't need to?
The front bed desire was because when I'm traveling, I typically drive until I get tired, then look for a place to stop and sleep for a while, which often will be well beyond closing time of most camp grounds, so I stop off a random Forest Road somewhere. At that point, I just want to walk into the camper, and go to sleep without unloading the rear or other major set up. In days gone by, when I would be sleeping in the bed of the truck, I always made sure to have the sleeping area open so I could just climb in the back and go to sleep.
So all that said, I'd rather step up a size class or two if that's what it takes, I just don't want to end up with some kind of 39 foot multiple slide monster of a trailer, lol.
