[QUOTE="Lasercat, post: 1402709, member: 24628"] Unfortunately that really won't work for my needs for two reasons: One, I need to pull my raft trailer, and be able to back it into the water to launch. A 16' raft with metal frame, dry boxes, cooler, etc ends up weighing near 1000 lbs when loaded to go, so being able to drop the trailer into the water is key. Putting a camper on a trailer designed to back into the water is... not ideal :-) Two, I want to be able to camp out in parking lots. A lot of the smaller ski areas here in CO allow you to stay in their lots both in the summer for biking, and in the winter for skiing, but most won't allow a trailer. Gotta be a single vehicle for that. On top of that, whatever solution I come up with must be capable of going way back in the boonies. I regularly abuse my truck on rocky jeep trails, and have the gouges in my skid plates to prove it. :-) After months of research, it's pretty much come down to buying a [URL='https://sportsmobile.com/sportsmobile-4x4/']Sportsmobile[/URL], or a light camper for the Raptor. If I were to order the Sportsmobile today, I would get it sometime in early 2021, and I'm impatient, so that's why I'm leaning towards the camper :-) [/QUOTE]
