Travel trailers
Travel trailers are one of the vehicle options for nomadic living. In some regions they are known as caravans. In general, travel trailers share these pros and cons:Cargo trailers
Enclosed cargo trailers can be converted into main or auxiliary living spaces. One common setup is a converted cargo van pulling a converted cargo trailer.Parking trailers
Your parking difficulty increases significantly when you are towing a trailer. Overall vehicle length means you'll fit in fewer places, and you may have difficulty backing a trailer when necessary.
Note that in many places you can't leave a trailer parked on the street if it's not attached to a vehicle. Your trailer may be considered abandoned much sooner than a vehicle.
Moving your trailer
If you park your trailer long term in RV parks (monthly rates) and move infrequently, you may be able to save money by renting a truck each time you need to move instead of owning a truck. Then you can use a more economical vehicle for your daily driver. You may need to rent from the rental agency's commercial division. If you have a 5th wheel you may need to get a gooseneck adapter.
