Looking for Light Trailer Recommendations
Sold our diesel pusher last May, but doggone it, we're now realizing how much we miss getting out. But in order to keep life simpler and less expensive, we are looking at TTs. I have a 2014 Silverado...

We went from a 28' 5th wheel down to a 17' Casita and I also have an old AWD Astro van I've set up as my one man camper. We really don't miss the big trailer, especially don't miss pulling it. Less can be more but a different mindset goes with it.
We spend so little time actually in the trailer, all I wanted was a comfy bed and wife wanted indoor plumbing. Only room for the two of us but that's fine. So easy to tow, stores in the yard, fiberglass shell means very few water leak issues (few seams). I move it around the yard with my lawn tractor. Maybe too spartan for your needs but the point is that less can be more.
There is definitely some trade off with less space but as space goes down, freedom goes up. Also cost is exponential to size (initial and maintenance cost).
