GREEEN Couple... Some questions

We have a V6 Tacoma, and we tow a KZ 16RBT Sportsmen Classic. There are many makes and models of small (under 21') trailers that would work for you. A Casita would tow a bit more easily as it's a bit more aerodynamic, I think. Oliver and Scamp make similar units...but Casita seems very well thought of. We liked the KZ floor plan with the twin tent areas - makes the small trailer seem much larger when set up, and the weight is still under 3000#. I just looked at the Livin Lite trailer site, and they have one model with a tent type slide out. The Tacoma V6 with the tow package is rated at 6500# but I don't think I'd want to tow much more than 3500 or 4000#...you can feel it back there. We rented a pop up once to try out and we liked it a lot, but the hard shell with the heater is better for cold mornings, and we are sure we will be using the air conditioner this summer as well. If you can get a Casita or an Oliver with a slide out tent (a hybrid) that might be the best of both worlds. The KZ was a lot cheaper than the Oliver - we paid about $10K for a 2013 model that was barely used. Casitas don't seem to exist on the east coast, but we have seen some Scamps.

WOw yours is nice as well. I read Oliver was expensive and I did not care for the Scamp as much as Casitias. I think we want a hard shell as well although we could save $35 a month in storage with a pop up as we could keep that on property. The Casitas will fit in the garage.

Definately want to stay under 3500lbs if possible. Even though the Tacoma has the tow package with coolers and HD Battery
