The timing of this thread is kind of funny since I'm looking at supplementing my 26' travel trailer with a 8'6" non-slide truck camper for short weekend trips and boondocking off the countless forest service roads I come across.
I really enjoy my trailer and have no plans to sell it, but I just can't get it into some of the areas we've come across exploring in the trucks that would be awesome spots to spend a night or two. The trailer will still be used for my longer trips, especially those where I have reservations and know I'll fit.
For the last minute "load and go" weekend trips, the camper will be much easier find a place to park and will be a lot less stressful exploring off pavement, especially when you discover you can't go any further and have to turn around. Doing that with the trailer in tow can be quite hair-raising at times.
