I'm thinking along the same lines your thinking. But we went from a Okanagan 811-SL T/C to a 41ft 5th wheel. Reason was getting into the bed was killing both of us. Love the room of the 5th wheel, but sure miss out on a lot of spots we used to stay. As theres just not room for the bigger units.
So thinking about one of the triple slide Chalet Rv's. Seen one that you can get into the bed on both sides. And have room along the bed to get into it. Loved our storage in the Okanagan, but not the getting into the bed. Not sure my wife is going to go along with the swap. But I keep looking at these bigger truck campers. And thinking our Chevy Kodiak C5500 would be nice with one of them on the back of it. But would have to swap beds on it. As it has the hauler bed and fear its higher then I would need for the slide-in. But then again same 5th wheel in it as my C2500HD I used to haul our T/C with. So it may only need the 100 gallon fuel tank removed and the rack off the front of the bed.
Good luck in your choice. And like you it was nice to park in a normal parking spot when traveling. And fit into about any campsite that was open.
