Both are good options, the LQ trailer allows you to have the truck for running errands, going out to dinner, etc.
In my case I already had the diesel truck (F350 long bed) and a 18 ft open car trailer so I added a 9'-10" cab over camper. The only problem being that it is over 8' long and that entails a HD hitch plus hitch extension that added about $500 (used) to my expenses.
My next addition is going to be a storage box on the front of the trailer since storage for a generator, small compressor, floor jack, tools is very limited with the camper.

This works pretty good. I did install a set of airbags in the truck since this picture. A 1 ton would work good. Uploaded with ImageShack.us

My rig. Can't say for sure how it works,,only used it locally about 6 times this year, and no overnight stays yet. Hope to give it a work out next year. It does have roof air, bathroom, fridge, stove, furnace,etc. Should be good enough for me and whoever I can talk into going with me.

I leave the camper on my truck even when I go 35 miles to PIR for a 6 hour Wednesday night race. It only makes about 3 MPG difference and I don't have to walk a 1/8 mile to the cans 20 times a night. I'm not 25 years old anymore.
Plus if it's hot out it's nice to go in the camper once in a while to cool of with the AC.
My camper makes NO difference in MPG. I get 7 MPG towing, hauling, cruising,,,no matter what!!! I have found /cured a few problems to get it UP to 7!!!

I had a 30' 96 Itasca gas motorhome and pulled a 28' trailer, it was a white nuckle ride when a tractor trailer passsed. Maybe air bags would have helped. Had to pull the waste tanks to box the frame in - the extension to the chassis from the factory was attached with a small steel plate. I just bought a used 40' aluminum exiss trailer and plan on making my own LQ's - we'll see how that goes.

IMO, air bags are a must on almost ANY gas MH, and the heaviest weight dist. hitch you can get with sway control. I had some installed on a 36' gasser and it was a big improvement but still white knuckle at times. Like going over the Skyway on an extremely windy day!!
