Tools: Truck Rack question

I need a new way to carry my two great auks. I was using Yakima truck racks until I traded in the 2001 Tacoma for a 2011 Tacoma. The yakima's don't fit the newer Taco's so I switched to a trailer. Honestly, I like the trailer best because it's easy to load/unload. Now we've decided to get a Popup camper and I need ideas.

My crazy idea is to hitch the boat trailer to the camper. That got about 1 second of serious consideration. My new taco is taller than the old so I think I'll need to load from the rear and push. Yakima is out, Thule is expensive, but there is also "TracRac TracOne" or usrack.com's Windstreamer, Paddler's Rack and Rail Rack. Anyone have experience with any of these?

Please help me get over this OCD dilemma.
