    The truck camper era

    Used to be like that in Australia. Here the rise of the "Luxury Apartment on Wheels" Off Road Caravan, Hybrid and Crossover Caravans has really killed their numbers http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/1122/wkvv.jpg

    If Casita ever made an Off Road Trailer this would be it.

    This is a much larger Off Road Caravan about 26ft overall. It has the "Apartment on wheels " look. You probably need sunglasses to view the interior. It looks like that in real life. it is bright. http://www.lotuscaravans.com.au/fileserver/gallery/94_fullsize.jpg...

    Towing fifth wheel with F150 super crew v8

    My reply was a combination of surprise and what is available here. I think you are right the small Scamp is probably the only 5Ver suitable in the US for a Supercrew F150. I was actually referring to the comparison of the Travel Trailers in the photo of a Global Ranger pulling a 22ft Caravan...
