I think you will find a good many folks in the same frame of mind. We still own our fifth wheel which we now keep at the beach, but we tired of the limited number of spaces available for large RVs (which has only gotten worse), so we now travel exclusively in our truck camper (second one actually).
Whereas we were always worred about finding a place to stay that was some place we actually wanted to stay, our TCs has made finding a place to stop so much easier not to mention taking on fuel and not having to worry about about getting blocked in at the pump.
We still think all types of RVs are fun and have owned multiples of each, but for pure simplicity and spontaneity, we think it is hard to beat a truck camper (and my wife loves it too)!
The cons? Space for sure. If you need multiple flat screens or two recliners, a TC is not for you. I also worry that even answering posts like this, those of us who are already into TCs will encourage what seems to be increasing numbers of folks who trash our wilderness areas. Finally, it is a rarity that you luck out and get a TC and truck combo that handles well right out of the gate so mods and add-ons are somewhat second nature to TC owners when starting out.
In the end, everything in life is a trade-off, it is just what you are willing to trade.
