Some folks will rent a trailer first to see if it going to work for them before they buy them...
I am a OFF-ROAD POPUP guy and have traveled all over the East Coast and Gulf areas and as far West as TEXAS/OKLA
The beauty of the POPUP is there is minimum wind drag so my F150 truck doesn't know the trailer is behind it. We get the about the same 18-21MPG whether we are pulling the POPUP or not. Its the wind drag that hurts the worse. Even pulling a 24-foot long small travel trailer will only get 10-12MPG...
This will be what you want to do. The tent camper trailer is not for everyone. My POPUP has all of the modern things the big trailers have but there is not much move around room inside the trailer. Makes you do alot of living on the outside which is what we like to do anyway...
We are quite comfortable living in our OFF-ROAD POPUP tent trailer.
