In some states, VA being one of them, truck campers are not vehicles. Thus, they have no tags, no inspection, and no registration. Therefore there is no personal property tax on a truck camper. This could be a substantial savings over the tax on a class B.
When we stay at a campground for a while I will sometimes remove the camper from the truck and drive just the truck. When going to some place like an amusement park or a zoo this means I save on parking because they often charge extra to park a motorhome. When at the lake I can use the truck to launch and retrieve my boat while leaving the truck camper at the campsite.
My truck has seating for 6 passengers and I have had that many in there for a short trip. With just the family we have our two boys in the back seat in their car seats. I don't know that the seating and seat belt arrangements would be as favorable in a Class B.
