Lighter weight camper options
I've been thinking about getting a light weight camper for my Ram 2500 with 8' box and have considered the Grandby in the link below. I'd like to be able to get off the beaten path and this would fit ...

Interesting Del. Hope you like your TC! Its a step up for sure.
One thing, if I go cargo trailer route my wife won't come with me so its use is just me n the boyz....or just me if solo trip. I've contemplated a 6'6" tall V nose with some windows and a side door and a rear ramp but not really all fixed up. Could take a generator though and could wire in some 6 volt batteries for LED lighting and some solar panels. Could take portable toilet and take a sun shower. Would still take water jugs. Maybe could take a small portable microwave.
Adv of TC: More comfy (bed, dinette); casette toilet; inside shower; microwave; fridge; fresh water tank; inside range (probably never use oven); screened windows/door; wife will come along sometimes (is that an adv or a disadv? LOL); furnace (I know, could have a heater in CT), don't hafta remove stuff for sleeping
Disadv of TC: Heavy, so not so great on 4x4 roads; might crack if truck flexes too much (N/A if 4wheel camper); limited storage for gear unless in aisle; no way to bring firewood; less mpg than if cargo trailer; expensive; insurance higher; not maeuverable in my garage (gravel floor)
