Assuming you will enjoy it, make sure the math works for you. I don't have one yet, but I've been doing a lot of homework. You've got to consider the real weight and payload capabilities of your vehicle, and completely ignore the camper manufacturer's advertised numbers. Just look at the camper's gross vehicle weight rating and assume that's where you'll be, with 13% of that on the trailer ball.
It seems the manufacturers under-rate the camper's true weight when in use, and the truck manufacturers over-rate the trucks' capabilities.
My 2016 F150 can "pull" maybe 10,000 - 13,000 lbs, but is only rated to tow up to about 6,500 lbs because of payload limitations of the truck.
One of my brothers loves pop-up campers. He has a construction business at a beach, so it's seasonal. He'll buy one used, and sell it when times get tough, but his Jeep will never be overloaded with a pop-up. He and his family do a lot of camping that way.
