Some of my best camping times was in the high country around Arizona... Several of us had our OFF-ROAD JEEPS pulling small utility trailers loaded down with all of our tent camping items...
We for sure didn't get the gas mileage you are getting but had lots of great times camping way back off the main roads back then...
We looked alot like these google imagine photos from the Jerome and Smiley Rock areas taken back in the same time frame...

Going small has it big advantages...
We drag our 2008 OFF-ROAD STARCRAFT 14 R/T all over the mountains around us hre in Virginia and down south along the Blue Ridge Parkway and have gone as far West as Okla and North Texas... Always have great times in our 12-foot base POPUP trailer...
