I've recently purchased by new JayFlight travel trailer, and I have to say I'm having a ball with it. Now, after visiting a few campsites I've realized I need a golf cart (well, maybe I just want another toy...). I tow my TT with a GMC 1500 Denali Shortbed, so I'm looking for the smallest lightest fullsize golf cart. I've recently seen the Cricket SW3, which will definitely fit in the bed, but I think it's going to be a real tight squeeze for my wife and I in the cart, not to mention when ever we bring guests (which will happen often). Any suggestions?Thank you in advance.

Your thread prompted me to do a quick Google search - look what I found! http://www.rvrover.net/

Quadracycle.One to four seats, with or without electric propulsion, somewhat lighter than most golf carts. Many variations from manufacturers around the world.

Couple Zuma 50's will fit in the back of your truck. Should be able to pick up a couple decent used for 2000-2400 bucks. No mc license needed, fun to ride, big storage under seat, and can ride 2-up around the park. Both would probably weigh less than a golf cart. Keep in mind not all parks allow golf carts. The scooters can be registered and road legal.

BWAHAHA! I was going to say the same thing as AF Angler. My wife has Lyme, is totally disabled and can barely go up and down stairs. 7 up or down is about the limit but she will walk around the RV park no matter what, has a disabled sticker but won't use it. It's funny, but I lived in CA and everyone looked down their nose because I didn't have all the toys for the river and camping. I camped in a tent with the bare minimum.

Thanks for the replies. The more I think about this, the more I'm thinking it's not in the cards for now. It's looking like we'll take bicycles for now (I know I could use the exercise), and we'll see what the future holds.

How about a comfortable pair of walking shoes?

Definitely a pair of Honda CT "Trail" 90's! Barley more than a moped but much cooler. Not powerful enough to go too fast or get you in trouble but tons of fun. Small, light and very retro (They were made in the mid 60's)

No motorcycle license endorsement needed in every state that I am aware of.

We have a Cricket. You definitely need to be "friends" to seat two side by side, but it works.

Other than that, we love it. It folds down and doesn't take much room in the bed of the truck (a little over 1/4 the total available space in a long bed,) and only weighs 300 pounds. It performs as well as a standard golf cart.

The only con is do not buy the color red, it is the only color that does not hold up for some reason.

I highly doubt you'll have enough payload to tow the TT and haul a cart. You'd have to run the numbers to see.
