Maybe you can help us
So I've been scanning these forums, other forums, and every forum trying to decide on which RV is the best for us. I jumped from TrailManors, to molded fiberglass trailers, to all-aluminum trailers...

IMHO most truck campers are too heavy for 3/4 ton 2500 SRW 4x4 trucks. Be careful with your weights. Per your stated goals, I would suggest the Escape 19'. You will find that extra 2' useful. It has a larger bed & booth. Playing games or having a nice meal make a larger booth nice, without needing to take apart your bed to put back up the large booth in the 17' Escape. Another possibility with just a full bed would be a used Bigfoot trailer. I would go with a 21'. Casitas are also small fiberglass, but have a smaller bed. Take your time to really compare your options! An 18' trailer offers a lot in a relatively short unit. If you go with a 3/4 ton truck, consider an Arctic Fox or Nash trailer. They are really decent trailers and hold up well in more natural settings. They have a strong chassis (non-Lippert) in newer units. These are widely available new and used in WA & OR.
