I know I wandered off...

What are people buying instead of PopUp tent trailers? My first popup weighed only 1,000lbs. Had 2 queen beds, stove, sink etc. 2nd popup was much larger, 1 king, 1 queen, shower, toilet, stove, sink, outside sink and grill and weighed only 2,000lbs. I could tow either with an economy SUV with ease.
My 3rd trailer was a hybrid hard sided but with foldout tent beds. Tons of room, huge slide out and weighed 5,000lbs fully loaded. I did have to upgrade the tow vehicle to a Durango 5.7L V8.
The current popups I've seen are high sided to allow for full ovens, microwave, refrigerators and most other ammenities. These are no longer lightweight and in most cases cannot be towed with a economy SUV. In this regard, may as well get a small hard sided and larger tow vehicle.
