For the last 10 years we have had a 91/2 foot camper for the 20 years befor 
that we had a 8 foot one.  Realy like the room, the bath/shower, heater, hot 
water and storage.  No problem pulling a 4-horse loaded trailer with the 
91/2 foot.  Make sure you have at least a 3/4 tonn pick-up with extra 
suspension.  Having the extension built on the trailer tongue is the best 
way to go with that.  We put 2 extra feet and it makes turning in tight 
places real easy.  We travel to rides from March to late Oct or early Nov 
here in the Northwest and in all kinds of weather.
