Give us more to work with:

- Where will you camp (newer private camps, boondocking off rough roads, etc...)
- Will you have visitors?
If I was single, I would lean towards a 25-30' 5th wheel. They pull nice, easy for a single to hook up as you can watch the hitch in the rear view mirror. Big enough to be comfortable and you don't need to move up to a 1 ton truck (3/4 would be prefered).
