I don't want to buy a horse trailer with living quarters because I also love to go camping just by myself and some places I like to go to are a bit difficult to get into with any kind of trailer (not official campsites). I think I will have to stick to a Kodiac type of canvas truck bed tent, or maybe import something from Australia. Those guys down there have a lot of great ideas and they don't seem to have to use those heavy (and expensive) 3/4 and 1 ton trucks. I bought the Tundra because it was all that I could afford so I just need to make the best of it. I don't like anything really big and fancy anyway.
You can buy about any comparably equipped 2500 or 3500 srw gasser for the same $ as a tundra.
Just make sure your Tundra has LT tires and add something to the rear suspension. Bags, overloads, Timbrens, take your pick. Then you could plop a lightweight camper pop up or hard side on it.
And if you can't afford to upgrade the yoda or get a HD pickup you'll probably not be importing a camper from down under.
