depends on the weight of the camper look at your vehicles max towing rating usually in the glove box and select one based on that. Do not buy a ultra light or any trailer that says that on it as they are junk , buy a jayco or name brand one also if you buy used look under all cabinets and all around for water leaks and mold there are a ton of flood damaged trailers for sale dont buy one you will know if you look hard enough, also buy one that the underside is insulated to protect the floor and pipes from water while driving in wet or freezing conditions, no fiberglass siding it warps and cracks , believe me I know a thing or two about campers i have sold hundreds of them ,get one with a slide best money you can spend on a extra, make sure and most all trailers have brakes on both axles because it is law now but some not too older ones only have it on one axle only , make sure the hitch is a 2 5/16 not 2' that will tell you that the frame work is heavier , look at the shower for cracks or repairs to it look hard , make sure it has gas and electric powered refrigerator so your things will stay cold while driving , make sure it has gas heat the ac units heat is not enough in really cold weather
