. . .So, if we stay in Chicago it seems the TC would be more convenient than the combination we have now. Thus it might make sense to sell the trailer and get a truck camper. But I’d lose the “insurance” of a place to live, unless it’s possible to full-time in one. That’s why I asked.

Okay, got it. . .
The travel trailer is probably a better standby back up shelter.
We've spent months at a stretch living in our truck camper. Bear in mind that we follow the sun. . .and spend most of our time out of doors.
Our truck camper's seating is the standard bench type seating - not the sort of seating one can enjoy for a length of time - like a week of snowy Chicago weather.
Recliner seats are available in the newer Eagle Cap campers but those campers are HUGE and really require a truck with a minimum 14K GVWR
The TC on average can go 3 to 5 days without service for water and sewer.
Can your current TT exceed that?
The TC is more convenient to "pick up and go".
How you use the camper will determine it's suitability for you.
