Here's a crazy thought to get you to Colorado: rent a cargo van (U-haul has low-roof Transits for rent), tow the Fit; and throw a cot in the back of the van to sleep in.

Once you are settled in CO, you can pursue what you want to use for camping. And my recommendation is that you not pull a travel trailer (especially in the mountains) with a short-wheelbased vehicle like Jeep. There's safety in long wheelbases when towing.
And since you have been a tent camper - you might (like me!) see the beauty in keeping it simple by turning a cargo van into a camper (plus it will haul a ton of "stuff" as you settle into your new home) My full-sized Transit is a joy to drive!
