I have been looking at getting a campershell for my truck but man for like another $1K I could get a 6x10 enclosed trailer. Not really sure what way to go. I like the convience of the shell but I am getting way more storage and space with the trailer. What do you guys who do more raod trip hunting than me like? And which way do you prefer?
camper shell or small trailer?

I have a topper and a 18’ camper. 99% of the time I prefer the topper.
I built a single size (26” width) elevated bed with storage underneath so I still have access to full height storage for 1/2 my truck bed. Plenty of room for coolers and kitchen/camp gear. I have a crew cab so too little storage has never been an issue.
I set up a cook area outside. I’ll use a pop up canopy if needed for weather.
I like the mobility, better access options and gas savings of the truck only. And not to mention not pulling something in snow and high winds.
Sometimes, early season antelope hunting I’ll pull the camper. But overall I prefer camping in the truck.
