I had the "RV" urge a couple of years ago and bought an old 8' Bonair tent trailer. 1400 lbs load with all our gear. The Matrix pulled it just fine at 100 km/h. Even over the Coquihalla the slowest I had to go was 80 km/h (at 5000 revs in 2nd!).

Buying an old bomb of an RV requires lots of garage space because there is no end to the amount of tinkering they require. My garage is full of my other toys, so I ended up selling it. Plus my inlaws bought a townhouse on the lake in Osoyoos and I would rather go there on weekends instead of living like medieval peasants (aka go camping).
