Looks like my quest for a slide-in camper option has gone nowhere (weight, non-standard bed) so am going to get a camper of some sort. There will be trade-offs here, of course. Weight and aerodynamics are a major concern. I would appreciate knowing what others have towed in the past with any comments on the upsides and downsides. Thanks in advance:cool:

I will be towing our Aliner classic that we currently pull with our Subaru Outback. It is very light and can be put up in under five minutes. The hard sides give more bear protection as well. Look at other manufacturers of A-frame design as you my find better quality.

I will be towing my rockwood roo 233s. It is a hybrid trailer and works really well for sleeping the 6 of us plus a goldendoodle. Loaded with gear it weighs about 5500lbs. It is not the most aerodynamic but does the job for our family. Excited to see what kind of aerodynamic trailers people start using with their EV tow rigs.

I'm crossing my fingers that a custom build of something like this could work on the Rivian: https://gofastcampers.com/. Super light, low profile, meets our needs with minimal fuss.

I e-mailed those guys the other day. Response: " at this time we are booking into Spring 2022 for the next available date". I'd love one...but don't think I can wait that long. Lucky you!

I'm completely shocked that no single dudes here said "ladies".

Have to keep the diesel for mine. Bikes, kayaks, & a whole bunch of other stuff go in the back.
