I towed my 30ft. 6500lb Coleman with a 1500 Silverado 5.3, 3:73 rear end with absolutely no problem, even in mountains. I had no issue in gas stations for the most part although you do need to be able to size one up pretty quickly if you can get in and out. If its just you then 22-24 ft. would give you space for some comfort. I can't imagine being tucked into an Rpod for rainy days, not that I would melt from getting wet. Rain is only somewhat of a deterrent to some folks. Don't be too hasty to buy one. As others said, look for a lightly used unit. They are out there.
