Again thanks so much for the help.

Don't abandon your original plans just yet. The majority of posters on this site have a bigger-is-always-better attitude. You will constantly be told you WILL want a bigger trailer and you NEED a bigger TV.
My parents, both in their sixties, just spent six months this past winter full-timing in a 12-foot Aliner that was towed by a 2004 Toyota Sienna minivan. They went all through the west, including Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico.
A popular blogger, RV Sue, has lived in a Casita for years now.
Now, that all sounds horrible to me, but it doesn't matter what I would want. It really just boils down to what kind of camper you are/will be, and buying what works for you. Everyone is different and not everyone needs or wants a dually and a 40-foot fifth wheel.
