We are kind of in your shoes right now. We went from Iowa via Canada to Juneau Alaska and points between, and on the Alaskan Highway. Took 4 weeks, not enough time.
Anyway I towed with my 1/2 ton Chevy pickup a fiberglass 17 foot camper, a Casita.

Had great weather in June. Cabin fever, at times but we had our computers, and a television to watch at times. It was great to have our own bed every night. It was light weight and I drove the speed limit and at least 5 mph over. Never got under 12 mpg, and more like 14-16 on the prairies of Canada. Since we were outside a lot or visiting we never felt cramped.
BUT still and again I'd like to have a smaller 5th Wheel, something I can pull with a 3/4 ton, so we will be following this Thread. I can't stress enough how great this Forum is and of course the Members!!
