I would be looking at a 1/2 ton pickup with a small pop up truck camper. Then get a 20-25ft travel trailer.
Double check your payload limits both for the truck camper and trailer...and use the fully loaded weights for camper and trailer.
I repeat double check your payload limits for the truck camper and trailer. 1/2 ton trucks vary wildly in terms of payload. From under 1000lb to upwards of 2500lb. You want one near the upper limits (at least close to 2000lb)
The popup truck camper will be better outfitted and more comfortable when traveling light.
You can legitimately pull a 20-25ft trailer.
With the modern 1/2 tons, getting 25-30mpg running empty is possible.
It's also handy if you need to pick up mulch for the yard or bring home a new dish washer.
