I want to explore some of those inviting two tracks out west where Airstreams are just not a good choice. The idea of having a scaled down slide-in camper and the ability to tow the Airstream, or a utility trailer, has started to look interesting. Yes, I know there are six tires. The upside to a dually is stability in crosswinds, the downside is the extra cost of replacing tires. I haven't made a firm decision yet but I only know I won't go through the dealership dance again.
