2. A pickup with canopy with a foam pad, pulling a TT.
...this is an excellent topic, and though I am not happy for the OP's experience, we will be doing something like wnjj writes, above:
2 of us pulling a base camp tow trailer (21 foot) with our 2500HD pickup, with compact pop-up truck camper on truck. The pick-up/truck pop-up camper will be our daily driver (and grocery getter, and remote 4x4 expedition rig for deep offroad explorations without basecamp trailer), and the trailer our base camp to be left in various regions hooked up to paid service(s) for up to 1 or 2 months.
Several campgrounds we visited in Florida have said: no problem with this....you are only 2 at the site; while other campgrounds were not sure (they said they had to check with the owner (private campground) or municipality (municipal campgrounds), State (State Parks), or Feds (National Parks) ). However, no one we inquired with said absolutely "no".
On edit: a member of this Forum (Jim) years ago (a couple traveling full time) had a Class A diesel pusher, towing a truck camper rig (the towed); I never read from them of any problems with this set-up at any campground...
