Other than full-timers do people really buy travel trailers to "Live in"? I use a camper to sleep in while I am visiting interesting and fun places. Then I am out of the trailer. Families have enjoyed tent camping for years in smaller spaces than a 25 foot travel trailer with sleeping for six.
If you take longer trips and plan them in advance, you can't control everything. With a 7, 5 and 1.5 year old, rainy days can get messy and require staying indoors.

Generally we are outside, but you can't control everything.
Folks now days are soft.
Grew up with Mom and Dad packing all SIX of us kids into a STATION WAGON and TENTING as far as Florida the first couple of yrs we camped.
The Dad bought a pickup in 1970, put a cap on the back, made a bench and table and all SIX of us kids road in the back as far as Florida and camped.
Then Dad found a used 1960s TC and all SIX of us kids road in the TC..
We camped like that and it didn't kill us kids or our parents in the process.
We even survived Hurricane Agnes while camping at Disney Florida.
Now days parents are so bothered by their own kids they try to find the biggest monster to tow in order to keep the kids far, far away..
