I appreciate the continuing thoughts, and especially the feedback that the truck could handle more camper with suitable mods. John's point about camping 200 nights versus occasional weekend and hunting trip use is a good one. I also do competitive shooting (black powder and single action) from April to October, so part of the thought is getting a camper that would be more useful more often. While I've towed our trailer to shoots for weekends, a lot of times that seems like a lot of work for such short trips.
One of the problems for some of these brands is that they'd be tough to find in the East, although I was surprised to see a NH dealer for Four Wheel. The Apex recommendation is a good one, my brother- and sister-in-law are on their second toy hauler from that company and they absolutely love those campers, I'm just not sure I'd order factory new or drive to CO to get it. If I can find a nice clean used camper from someone who is trading up, to me that's the ideal value-wise. And I suspect there are a fair number of folks who end up trading up from a small unit. If I don't find many options locally, I think a weekend trip to the NH truck camper dealer would be a great opportunity to see a wide range of options.
Very much appreciate your continued advice, keep it coming!
Jim
