A trailer is an option, but I see the limiting factor may be tow and tongue weight. A trailer can add as much as 1,000~2,000lbs. If you have a diesel pusher with a 10,000lb towing capacity, probably not much of a deal, but for those of us that have a 5,000lb capacity, it might not be the best solution.

Last year we stayed at a campground that one rig was a 40 something ft diesel motorhome, with a tandem axle trailer carrying a 9 passenger full sized E series van... they had a big family.

Thing is, there are many options, and self-education as to which option is best for you is the best approach.
