+1 on the suggestion to try a Four Wheel Camper. That's exactly how we started out. Find out if you like truck campers before you spend $80,000.
The flaw in that logic is, you may not like camping due to the lack of amenities. Doing your business against a tree and not being able to bathe for days might not be your cup of tea. You'll look at that fancy shell and think, "You'd think something this expensive would at least have a BATHROOM, ya know?"
I'm not sure why a manufacturer can't build a TC with a bed, sink, shower, and toilet, and keep it under 1000lbs. TCs with these basic amenities always end up being "lead sleds" weighing a minimum of 1600lbs dry, which eats up the available payload of most every 1500-series, F150, Tundra, Titan size pickup truck on the market. Everything you put in the camper, everyone in the cab, is overloading the truck, and you'll be hard pressed to hit the road at any less than 1000lbs overweight.
