Camper Recommendation for Hybrid 2K towing?

[Jah.]

Look at aliners . they are hardsided popup . I currently have a 10 x 6 ft x 7ft high enclosed utility trailer with fold down loading ramp . turned into toyhauler/camper . Murphy style fold down Queen size bed . indoor/outdoor floor carpeting . kitchenette up front . sliding screen door for side door . portapotty for night . removable mc choke and tie down rings . outdoor shower setup . trailer has rear stabilizers .
When mc unloaded put bed down . if it rains fold up bed and use space as living room . bring lawn chairs and foldup table inside . it is wired for 110 electric or 12 volt lighting. Have ac hookup if needed with Honda 2k generator .
Trailer weighs 1k lbs , mc weighs 500 lbs . if I did again I would buy a 6 x 12 . if you don't haul mc much less weight . I boondock camp .

All these ideas flying around for utility trailer conversion is really bad for me!

This is one of the nicest you can get under 2,000 pounds from Rove Lite. https://travelliterv.com/rvs/2021-rove-lite-travel-trailers/ It has an aluminum frame, but keep in mind almost any non-popup trailer will probably exceed the "recommended" frontal area Ford states for the Hybrid model (20 sq/ft, not exactly sure how that's calculated. Above the bed? Including the truck?).

We have an older A-Liner (800lb dry). No bath, but it's the main reason we're getting this truck.

I’m assuming that the 20 sq ft is above and beyond the truck’s outline (the truck is about 30 sq ft alone). The rove lite would be right near the limit at about 20-30 sq ft. I’m gonna check one out when I get the chance.

From some of my research before i switched to the 4k

Note that the weights are "dry" - that is no water, gear or beer in the fridge.

BTW - I have a Alto F2114 on order (dry is ~2600)

Some are on the heavy side... (I wanted to stay < 1800 lb for headroom)
I was looking for more than a weekender, and it became clear to me pretty quick that my Wife and I wanted more than I could weight budget, and so switch to 4k.

We were also trying to go beyond a "bed in a box"

Have you looked into campers made for motorcycles to pull? They can be surprisingly spacious. They have lighweight, but waterproof tent materials. sometimes under bed storage, and offer zip-on rooms. For a bathroom use a pop-up stand alone shelter and a portable shower and sink.

Gotta have a VERY SPECIAL woman for that!
God bless her!

I understand. At 73yoa my wife considers "roughing it" a motel/hotel room without a microwave or small refrigerator!
