Location: NC | Does anyone have a truck with a slide in camper in the bed and pull their horse trailer?
Was talking with my barn owners about how we'd like to eventually get a bigger trailer with a small lq so we could travel to some shows. I have a silverado 3500 so not too worried about pulling one. They were saying how some people get the slide in campers and still pull trailer. Currently have an aluminum 2 horse bumper pull and bring both horses when we go places. We were worried about how heavy that would be too. |

They are not huge but, if there are only two of you it shouldn't be an issue.

Location: NC | Thank you!! i just looked at them and they seem nice. Only other thing is would have to be 2 beds or like a main bed and a table that turned into a bed. Its my mother and i who would be traveling. And I love her and all but i dont want to share bed ;) |

Location: My own little world! | i have an 8 and 1/2 foot camper. I pull my 3 horse with a GMC 1 ton. I really have no trouble. I slow down for the curvy, steep parts and drive slower than my friend with a small living quarters.
I have a shower, toliet, queen bed and the table folds down into a bed.
It works for me and it's paid for. 
**Make sure to measure the camper with the trailer to make sure your trailer tongue is long enough. You may only be able to fit a 8 foot camper on, which makes it hard to find one with a full shower/toliet.

Thank you!!! Do you feel like its too heavy for your truck? Did you add anything to your truck like airbags? My trucks a 1 ton as well with an 8 ft bed.
I will measure the tongue on my trailer as well.
I sorta went looking around online and craigslist last night, not to many around. The one local rv place has an 11'3 one for sale which is way too long . |
