<P>Good evening.&nbsp; I'm exploring the possibility of traveling the US with a small trailer -- teardrop, popup, etc -- augmented with a strong tent that I can stand up in,&nbsp;all pulled by a sedan.&nbsp; I am currently hung up on the sedan.&nbsp; I have checked out several websites and some forums, but I remain confused as to what is actually required.&nbsp; Lots of opinions out there.&nbsp; I'm going to search in the Cheaprvliving forum again, and probably ask some questions.</P>

Thanks, OpenMinds.&nbsp; Good to know.&nbsp; I am drawn to the teardrops, for sure.&nbsp; I'm still researching towing vehicles, and will come back when I can better formulate my questions.
