Problem with a camper is having storage space for everything needed for full time use, especially 4-season clothes storage space. A travel trailer costs half as much and provides double the living space, double the holding tank capacities, double the storage space, and a dry bath.
Compare a 11 foot camper's space and cost (including the 1-ton DRW truck needed) to that provided with a 22' long travel trailer, and picture yourselves inside when it is raining or snowing for days at a time.
There is a reason full timers go with 5th-wheel trailers or Class A motorhomes as a rule. It is a matter of both living space and storage space.
