We tent camped for years. Tried camping out of a minivan (alone) one summer, and a popup for another summer. Then moved into travel trailers... 23 footer, then a 17, now a 16.
Thing is, in a tent or minivan there were times when the weather was just too hot or too cold or too wet. And I could not comfortably camp for very many days in places without a shower (many forest CGs, boondocking, etc). The ice in the cooler would run out. Stuff like that. So now I have the AC and heaters (LP or electric, depending), the bathroom with shower, and the fridge. No need to set up the cooktop, it's always hooked up. The bed stays made up, and it stays dry all the time too. I wouldn't want to go back to anything less.
