Thank you for the information.
I will look at what's available in my price range and choose the strongest I can afford. I had been thinking I could do 1/2 ton if I compromised winter warmth going with the poptop pickup camper.
I don't want to tow, although I realize you can get a much bigger camper to tow. I'm more concerned about being able to drive down the backroads with ease and park in a standard parking spot in the cities for carefree touring.
I figure this opens up stealth options like a van would have, while also allowing backcountry travel and having better road traction under bad driving conditions. Also it seems they are easier to keep warm.
It loooked like this was the thread for discussing pickups so I posted here even though I'm not towing just to learn more about cost differences between 1/2 - 3/4 ton to decide whether to go super light weight camper as opposed to medium.
