Truck camper plus tent trailer ?

Question:
With the price of gas and all, I have been thinking of a combination 4 cyclinder truck with ultr light truck camper or something like a flip-pac or maybe a more expensive four wheel camper (500 pounds). This combined with an ultra light tent camper like something a motor cycle pulls. So you'd have a truck with a tent camper in the bed pulling a tent camper. Between the two you'd have allot of space and storage for long range trips and cold weather, but I'd be concerned some campgrounds would forbid this as it would be considered 2 units, especialy if the truck could seperate from the camper as in the case a fourwheel model. It's a shame that these kind of rules allow for 35 foot condos on wheels, but won't let me have two tiny ultra lite units.


Answer:
-If what you need is a lot of space and storage, maybe your small truck with it's in-bed tent camper should be combined with a small cargo trailer. Uhaul has 4x6 box trailers and tiny little aerodynamic "sport trailers"... I'm sure it's possible to buy similar trailers outside of Uhaul (who probably only rents them). -If you pull up with a truck with a light camper pulling a small trailer, no problem. The truck is the tow vehicle. Pull up with a Lance Camper with an AC unit sticking out the back pulling a travel trailer with an AC unit up on top, then you have two RVs. The intent of the rule is to prevent overloading the utilities at a site and maybe also to prevent people from trying to beat the system. A motorhomer teaming up with a travel trailer to share one site. You sound like someone who has never gone RV camping. Take a deep breath. It's not as confrontational as you might think.
