Our Thoughts
Trailer Length
Cargo Capacity
The cargo capacity on this trailer is acceptable for couples and some families, but you'll have to limit what you bring with.
Tow Vehicle Recommendations
Possibly a 1/2 ton truck, but only in specific circumstances. Singles and couples with no kids or pets can get away with some 1/2 ton trucks.
For most people, a 3/4 ton truck is the way to go. Even if a half-ton would work, 3/4 ton trucks are built for towing. They have stronger axles, stiffer suspensions, and better brakes. Possible trucks include the Ford F-250, Ram 2500, and GMC 2500.
Look inside the door frame for a sticker that lists the payload capacity. The vehicle needs to be able to carry the tongue weight of the trailer, passengers, and gear. For a driver, passenger, and gear, that means about 2,624 pounds.

Gear Recommendations
When buying a trailer, you'll need a few basics. Usually, the power cord is included, but you'll need to purchase hoses for water and sewer. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Purchasing items such as those below through the links on this page help to support this site.
Zero-G Drinking Water Hose
At 50ft, this hose is long enough for almost every campsite, while being soft and flexible enough to pack away easily.
RhinoFlex Sewer Hose
This hose is a good balance of cost and durability. This is the most common hose I see at any given campground.
TST 507 TPMS
Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems offer you piece of mind while towing. TST units show both pressure and temperature, alerting you to tire problems before they become a major situations.
Lithium-capable Battery Charger
Lithium batteries need higher current to fully charge. Lots of similar units are just built for lead acid batteries.
