My first camper was a KIT 9 1/2 and it was great but a bit long and certainly very heavy for any kind of trail other than gravel road. My latest camper is an Alpenlite 8 1/2 that weighs a 1000 lbs. less and has more creature comforts. Makes for easier towing of my 7000 lb. boat and also allows me to go place I would otherwise not be able to get to. If I didn't have the boat I wouldn't need my 1 ton truck and would downsize even further. Probably even as small as a Toyota Tacoma and a pop-up.
I agree. When it comes to campers, bigger isn't always better.
