I spent a week in my Chalet Alpine. I'll be doing that again. I didn't get it to live in, I got it to travel with and camp in. My camping experience has been from backpacking tent, to a bit larger tent, to a teardrop, and now the Alpine. It all depends on what you expect and want to do.
I don't need a TV--I keep and take books along. I've got a very small radio, and don't cook any fancy meals--I'm camping. WA and Oregon have very nice state parks in nice locations, and I have dry camped with it in a cattle pasture. There was a porta potty there.
Now I do think I have more storage space because my model was designed with bunk beds. There is a large space below a twin bed, which I use, and the space has room for plastic containers AND my Lab.
His bed takes up half that space.
I guess I think of it as a more luxurious tent with a sink, fridge, and heater.
I've just purchased a hammock to camp in on backpacking trips. That'll really make the pointy trailer seem very luxurious.
