barchetta1, what is your point? And what kind of "styling" do you want? Are you not originally from USA? You keep saying basically "you Americans".
My TT is pretty basic, and works great for us.
If you don't want slide outs with huge showers in them, why are you looking at them? Look at the campers that are smaller with fewer options.
Cost of trucks - you don't have to buy a $65,000 truck. They still make basic trucks for a LOT less... funny thing is, usually you have to special order them, lol! Camping / RV'ing is basically a hobby... think how much you spend on other hobbys, it adds up quick (don't even think about skiing!). A truck and camper are a cost of the camping "hobby" - and usually will last you a decade or more. I have found that the options and "luxuries" on the newer truck are pretty darn nice to have, and sometimes become almost a necessity. Think of air conditioning, power windows, built in brake controllers, etc.
Enjoy camping your own way. Don't worry about what the other guy has or is doing. He's probably jealous of something you have!
