Best Lightweight TT for '07 4Runner?

Hi Everyone!

My husband and I are brand new to RVing. We would like to know what the best travel trailers are to tow behind a 2007 V6 Toyota 4Runner.

When my husband retires from the Air Force in a few years we would like to take a year to see the United States and Canada. We are looking for ultra lightweight travel trailers that can be easily pulled through various terrain with a mid size SUV. I have looked at listings for various ultra light trailers and the selection is mind boggling.

Does anyone have any recommendations? We are looking for a model that has a built in shower and cooking facilities but DO NOT want a pop up or other "tent" camper.

Thanks,
Red

    I was just looking at the StarCraft AR One website and the trailers there fit the weight requirement but I'm afraid that the length on the larger ones might be too long for the wheelbase of the 4Runner. My only experience with towing has been towing a small UHaul trailer behind the 4Runner through the mountains of West Virginia and Kentucky when we PCS'd from our stateside base overseas.

    My husband is trying to avoid buying a new vehicle for towing because his 4Runner doesn't have that many miles on it as he has mostly been overseas since he bought it new. I keep telling him that it might be inevitable.
