Since it seems you really like the outdoorsy style of camping, but with amenities, have you looked at hybrids?? We just made the move from our wonderful ROO 23SS to a TT, but only because age and all that goes with it was making camping a bit of a chore rather than mostly fun. You can click over to the "hybrid travel trailer" side and read all about them. They are a combination of a hardside trailer - complete with kitchen, bathroom, A/C,furnace, dinette and/or sofa - with usually queensize beds that fold out of both the front and back. Benefits are that they're usually lighter weight, you tow something in the 23' range, but when you get set up you've got around 30' of space. The beds are tentends and have windows that upzip, so you can have the breezes and fresh air or not. The downside is that if it happens to be rainy when time comes to close up to come home, you have to open up the ends and let them dry completely. We rarely had to do this, but for some it happens more often. We loved our hybrid and never saw anything that would make us want to change, but age crept up while we weren't looking and all the stuff that goes with it, so the change to our wonderful new TT is perfect for us now. A hybrid might be just the perfect thing.
