New To RV'ing

Hello to all , I am new to the forum . I have been tent camping and truck camping for about 35 to 40 years . The kids are now older and have better things to do . My wife and I are interested in buying a nice small lightweight trailer camper . It doesn't have to be loaded . Something that can sleep 2 , maybe 3 comfortably with and indoor shower and toilet . We both own 4 cylinder Mitsubishi's , a Lancer and an Outlander . The Outlander would probably been doing the pulling . I have looked into a few models on the internet . Does anyone own a small camper trailer ? What do you think of it ? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated .
Thanks , Don

    Check out what LivinLite offers. They have some small travel trailers that may be light enough, and they also have a nice lineup of popups. We have the Camplite 21BHS, which would be too big for your situation, but we love it. They make TTs much smaller and lighter, although the 21BHS is only 3500 pounds (5000 max loaded). Their popups are very nice and light as well.

    Welcome. We went that root. I have a F150 and we were trying to save gas so we purchased a small hybrid. It was to small. The bathroom is useless. My DW hated having to make up the bed when we arrived at the CG. I guess it depends what kind of camping you are going to do. The hybrid was OK for a couple days but after a week it got old. We wound up getting a light TT. Be care full with your tow vehicles. There are a lot of post about salespersons saying you can tow this with your SUV. BUT...
