With us, it depends on not only how long we plan to stay at one site but the nature of the trip and if we are towing our Jeep or not. With the Jeep in tow, the TC tends to stay on the truck, regardless of the length of the stay. Without the Jeep, anything approaching a week, we will remove the TC and just drive the truck. However, that is not always the case, as our one ton crew cab long wheel base truck is not very "urban" friendly for using as a daily driver. Since we use our TC as our distance traveling rig, such as our trips to Alaska, we don't stay in one place long enough to justify taking the TC off the truck. I have also been known to rent a car locally if we need one.
On a trip to Maggie Valley NC, a couple of years back, we had to take the TC off the previous truck, as it had to go to a Dodge dealer in Waynesville, NC for a bad water pump. They had to keep the truck for a couple of days to get the parts from Atlanta, so we rented a car and used the TC at the campground for sleeping, etc.
