Do you remove your camper from the truck while camping?

Well I would take mine off now and then, but there are a few reasons I don't. Mainly, my truck (1996 Chevy Silverado) has a narrow contoured tailgate opening. It is what it is and I love the truck. However unless I'm on a perfectly flat, level surface It is a total pain to get the camper off and on with only +/- 1/2" clearance on either side between the camper and the top of the bed rails. About the same with the wheel wells.... Just not worth the time and effort for me. I've always felt "stuck" in one place when camping though, so for local transportation from a campsite to town, tourist destinations, etc., I'll be towing my Mini Cooper on an Acme tow dolly I'm purchasing this year. Can't wait for that! Secondly, since I have a special California non-commercial permanent RV registration for the truck, meaning that the camper is on full time and the truck is not to be used for any other purpose. Even hauling things INSIDE the camper would be considered illegal! They were very specific about that at the DMV when I switched over the designation but I save a lot of $$ in high California DMV fees this way.
