What a pain in the butt! Sounds like you have a bunch of trailer haters there. Yes, if you have to keep the trailer an hour away then it's not worth it.
I hate it when places have to have so many rules and regulations about things that it almost makes it not worth the effort. Not being able to work on your own vehicle, not being able to use studded tires in areas that covered in snow and ice, not being able to insure a vehicle for it's actual worth, and now not being allowed to own a important vehicle accessory.
Sometimes I feel like giving up and just walking everywhere with my family.

My way of thinking is if you need a midsize SUV, an appropriate pickup would be the same thing, only more practical. You could throw a camper shell on it and it would be basically the same thing, only you could pop the camper shell off when you need the bed. Hopefully there aren't any rules and regulations there that don't allow you to temporarily store a camper shell by your home for a few hours.
