I heartily recommend truck camping. I pulled travel trailers for years, but on retiring I bought the truck camper in my signature for a trip to Alaska and found it fit my camping style. If I had it to do over again I would probably go with a small hard side camper.
In order to get an estimate on the weight of a given camper model the truck camper buying guide at
Truck Camper Magazine might be helpful.
The advice to get in several campers to see how they fit you is very important.
Then it is a matter of deciding if your truck can handle the weight or if you need a truck with more hauling capacity.
Good Luck.
