Mark and Linda,
There are many options out there for you. I suggest you concentrate on what you mean when you said, "we love to camp". Is your idea of camping crawling into the back of a closed up trailer and sleeping after you have removed all of the stuff you had in place? Are you staying put for any length of time? What does camping mean to you? Once you get this down, you will know what would work best for you.
I am an old guy who started in a tent, then went to a tent trailer which was GREAT and we had it for 17 years. I pulled it with a 4 cylinder Mazda pickup and we went everywhere with it. A tent trailer of some sort would be my first choice but then, I am not you. Good luck with the search.
I put it out for those who might like something like this. I started out tent camping when I was 4 years old in the mountains of California, spent a few months up there when I was 6 years old, as I progressed in age we tent camped on the coast many times. As I got older I camped with the Army, then later in years went back to tent camping once again. We bought a new Palomino PUP and loved camping in Tennessee and Georgia. I hated folding it up wet after having to leave the campground in a rain. Our next camping trip was in a 2009 Puma 25RS, we love it. We have had it four years now. I rolled out the awning earlier to let it dry out. The small trailers like I posted would be great for someone like my neighbor who is married, no children, like to camp but also like to go to many of the Nascar Races and not have to drag a big trailer with them.
