GREEEN Couple... Some questions
First time poster. First time RVer. We decided to find something our Tacoma V6 could tow. We do not wan't a "home on wheels" Just something small where spending more time outside is key. With that...

You say you will be outside except to sleep, and that if it rains you will go home. Unless you live in a desert, that really limits your camping experience. 9 times out of 10 it rains (or snows...LOL) sometime during our camping trips, so we like to be comfy inside if there is inclement weather. An awning helps to keep you dry if you want to hang out during rain. Sometimes we bite the bullet and use ponchos outside and when we go for hikes.
We owned popups for 15 years when the kids were little, and they got the job done, despite the hassle of dealing with canvas during rain. We now have close to the biggest TT that can be towed with a 1/2 ton pickup, and still fit on the side of our house. Not having to assemble/disassemble a bedding area is crucial for us, but everyone has their own priorities.
I would think you would be able to pick up a decent used TT in the 16' range that can be towed with your V6. Our problem in the past when looking at used units is that a majority of them are not maintained well or kept clean. Many of them smell awful inside, whether it be from cooking grease or mold, etc.
