Anyone regret downsizing to a camper?
Has anyone downsized to a camper and then went back to a larger RV because the camper was just too small?

Can you elaborate a bit more on this. I am trying to figure out where a 10ft longer rig can make a substantial difference. Dirt roads I understand and the ingress/egress of some gas stations, shopping centers, camp grounds would be an issue but im trying to figure out other places. I take a motorcycle with me so if I want to go down that small trail I will but not with the RV.
I am getting to the realization maybe a smaller camper for the shorter/offroad trips and a bigger MH for the longer ones.
Make a wrong turn to a dead end street? Have to turn around in someone's driveway? Lots of opportunity for fun or stress.
Aguirre Spring Campground is one. It's paved and there are probably TWO campsites that can accommodate a 30 to 38 foot camper max.
Even a truck camper will find limited good sites.
Henry Coe State Park in California is another one that comes to mind. OLD campsites, sloped, small and un-even. Even with a truck camper its a push to find a level spot.
For that matter, many of the older campgrounds were developed more for tents than RV's. There is a lack of large level spots.
If you stick to the pavement, a larger rig can be okay. But even pavement isn't a guarantee of a good level site.
