Before you buy, I'd check into renting a like size/type unit. You might even be able to "test drive" what you are looking at. We bought a larger trailer, and pulled it with a 3/4 ton Suburban with the 454 we got 4-5 MPG. Later we bought the newer Burb with the later big gas engine. Fuel milage was 4-5 MPG. Back then our trips were 1500-2000 miles round trip. We then bought a Diesel P/U and the milage almost tripled (12-13). Then we bought the bigger 5th wheel.... It would have been cheaper if we tried them out before making our first purchase.
Travel trailers, anyone?

Feralmerril,
Please don't use the words wet blanket and camping in the same sentence, it makes me very uncomfortable

As far as the comments on cramped quarters affecting peoples married lives, there is truth to that. I had a very close friend tell me of he and his wife outfitting a van and driveing up to alaska and back.
He just summed it up with, "By the time we got back, my marrage was over!"
