25 foot trailers provide good space, medium weight, and are easily maneuverable. My preference goes to dual axle trailers for better road manners. The question sis somewhat subjective, as we do not know your needs. Will you camp for weekends only, long trips, short trips, state parks, with or without hook ups? If you can be more specific, then you will surey get to the point information on this.

Depends entirely on your trailer's size, weight, and your personal needs.
Even though some are better suited than others for towing, it seems that the top contenders are pickups by Ford and GM, and of course Suburbans.

It is probably overall best to buy new, unless you want to tinker. Another option is a late model used traielr in like new condition. The Vintage arena is a whole 'nother thing, sometimes having little to do with camping,and more to do with the challenge of camping comfortably in a 50 year old vehicle...
