I appreciate all the info, VanTramp. You got me thinking on the CCW issue now. I've been a MO resident my adult life and '04 got a carry permit from FL so I need to see if there's a problem changing state residency. FL has solid reciprocity with most states but not sure if it also applies to a...

I'm going on the road full time soon mainly in the Southwest and considering making S. Dakota my home state via a mailing service. Since I can get my vehicle registered there and renewal by mail, I'm hoping to avoid the trip up there to get a SD driver's license and continue using my MO DL since...

Bob, I'd be towing with my 99 Frontier V6 4x4....5,000 lb max tow weight. The only permanent thing I'd do to a cargo trailer would be some windows.....a couple being good size sliding windows and screen door since I have trouble with small spaces, which might present a security issue when...

Basically I just need some room and security for 3 cats and a MH seems to be the ideal set up since I only want to move every 2 weeks about 30 miles each time. My 2 dogs and I will be outside a lot. If I kept my truck I could probably pay someone to drive it to the next campsite so I have back...

Sorry you had those surprises. Yeah, I agree about the inspection thing. I think I'm going to wait and go with a private seller deal in person, an inspection and gut feeling.

Been away from the forum for a bit and saw some new replies. More useful info and I really appreciate it! I'm seeing some Toys on AZ Craigs list and I hope a couple will be left when I finally get there late this month. I think I might try one out but will have to figure out how to keep my 4x4...

Thanks Bob. If need be, I think reversing leaf springs should be fairly simple for a shop. I'll check into the water heater on Amazon. Getting used to the small space would be an issue, but since I'll be outside mostly it should be tolerable.

Thanks Past Tense...I'll check it out. Thanks Optimistic Paranoid. I'll keep the axle types in mind and research that forum. Chris

Thanks HarmonicaBruce. I'm 5'7" and I think the height will be 6'+. I'll probably focus on the other stuff and save the shower for later so I can do more research and modify for fresh and waste water tanks, etc. I'm starting to see there is a lot of info out there to research. Should be a...

Ok. Now I'm leaning toward a 6 x 12' cargo rig with side door and rear cargo door. I plan to live very simply and spend most of my time outside. The only thing I'd want to add to the trailer starting off is a small shower and toilet (maybe just a porta potty), simple lighting, windows, roof fan...

Nice set up, Sushidog.....thanks for posting the pics/info.

Thanks for the good advice. I've been trying to find a private party sale on CL but it's a roll of the dice. I hate having to go the dealer route but might have to given my deadline.

Anyone know of a dealer in AZ that has a reputation for honesty and fairness in their business dealings?

Thanks everyone. Hard sided is the way to go then.

Anyone try to live in a pop up in AZ in the winter (valley of course).....I've got reservations re esp cold nights and canvas walls are'n't my idea of proper shelter barrier.....hard side could work ok I guess.

Wow! Much thanks to all you good folks for all the great info and link.....really will help me when I shop around. I just bought a 99 Nissan 4x4 SE V6 last Nov and the plan was to buy a small camper soon before I head West or when I get there, but lately I've been leaning toward more of a...

Thanks highdesertstranger. I guess I can narrow my focus on the 4cyl. From what I have read the 22r has a carb. and 22re is fuel injected. I'll have to compare them. Didn't know that about the V6 troubles.

Anyone living in a Toyota RV 4cyl that has no problems moving about in AZ (mountains/hills)? I'd prefer the V6 but I don't mind going slow on the road with the 4cyl. I might try starting out in the 4 and move up to the 6 in time unless the 4 is not a good idea for AZ. Thanks. Chris

Good points, advice. Thanks. Chris

Thanks again, Bob. Will keep in touch here. I might have to wait till mid or late August to leave. I'm wondering what the best time to start looking for used camper trailers in AZ, or is there no rv "selling season" out there. Seems spring and fall people sell their rvs here. Chris Thanks for...
