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...

Very much in the same boat, new to RVing, did a ton of research, wife and I decided we wanted something very similar to what you're saying. Small but cozy, definitely NOT getting a new truck to tow a wheeled house. Most of our time will be outside so we figured keep it small and light, no slides, and we did not want a hybrid. We went to an RV show at a convention center near us to actually walk thru various trailers, help us decide what we wanted for space, etc. We went with Coachmen Clipper 17BH, pulling with a Jeep Liberty which is a V6. I've had no problems towing at all (clipper weighs in at 2900 dry, max is 3700). Check all the specs on your vehicle (max towing weight, tongue weight, payload, trailer frontal area) and get a WDH and anti-sway. Seems there's a ton of options these days for people like us looking to tow something small and light with an SUV.
Thanks I like that unit. The one without the bunks. YEah we both do not want a "second home" We both enjoyed tent camping so this would be a huge step up even in a 16'
yea we almost got the one without bunks, but decided to get the bunks because we have 2 dogs, who could sleep on the bottom bunk, and we figured if we had friends/family camp with us. The bunkless (i believe 17FQ) was nice, but we were quite surprised when we went in the 17BH and realized the "roominess" really wasn't much different between the two
