If you go the JEEP and Trailer route.. you gonna love the JEEP.
I used to use a Scamp (13 footer) I would suggest a sixteen for you if you are going to go that route. Wife and I liked the 13 but it's a tad chummy.
And there are a couple of things I tell people which I need to modify for you.
First: (No mod here) MOTOR____ like to be driven, Be it a motor home, a motor car (Automobile) a Motor boat or whatever if it has a motor it likes to motor down the way... The absolute worst thing for these vehicles is to sit there and do nothing for months on end.
Trailers.. Well other than dry rot of the tires (Which applies to Motor____ other than boat (no tires)) do not has as big an issue with just sitting.
NORMALLY I would recommend a motor home with towed car.. But in your case. we are talking a light weight trailer with a fuel efficient tow vehicle so.
The reason for recommending the MH is this: Driving my 38'er with towed the Vortec 8.1L V-8 sucks about one gallon every eight-9 miles.. A roughly same size 5th wheel trailer with a honking big pick up to tow it.. Roughly the same.
Running to the store for some Brown Sugar.... (Something I may do soon). the towed is in the 20's... Just were in the 20's I'm not sure yet, A more modern towed can easily do 30's on the MPG chart (last fill was 23 MPG on mine)
That big honking pick up.. Perhaps 16 if you get a tail wind.
But in your case you can use a small compact light weight TT with a jeep, Likely get 30's bobtail and possibly even towing (20's for sure towing). And of all the sports cars sent to Car and Driver for test driving.. JEEP almost always wins the Bang for your BUCK contest.. Not all that many bucks when compared to say a Mustang or Corvette,, And lots and lots of BANG (FUN).
