Coming from a truck camper I would say a TT has some big disadvantages but also some advantages!
Pros -
Interior space and storage
Ease of hitching and unhitching (<5min) easier freedom to use vehicle
Use of truck box for stuff, firewood etc.
Cons - (vs a truck camper in my case)
Overall length makes some wilderness campsites simply inaccessible
Lost ability to tow a boat / quad/dirt bike trailer. Though there are ways around this.
Ease of travelling isn’t in same league as a TC
Long term durability ripping down gravel roads unknown.
No ability to stealth camp.
With our family of 4 the space and storage advantage outweighs all the cons but once our boys are old enough that they wish to tent it or stay home we will once again upgrade to a truck camper.
All points I'm swapping to a TC.
You forgot to mention the pro of not having to pack up my camping spot to go sightseeing.
I can leave the TC locked up & go into town or wherever in a smaller package than my huge Lance 900 on my trucks back.
Yes the whole boat & such things have come to mind.
I'm thinking of a dingy or kayak or things like that for fishing & a buggy rack on the bed or Etc.
Thanks for your input.
The much needed freedom & floor space will be very rewarding being we camp with a 100 lb dog.
