Unless you really need a SRW, consider a drw and larger or heavier TC. Sure, you "can" carry a 9 1/2 hard side on a SRW. I and many others have. However, you'll find a DRW much more stable, and I believe you'll like a longer TC or a TC with slides once you arrive at the camp site.
Another option is to go with. Class B or C. TCs are the most expensive per square feet. I can't think of a lot of good reasons to buy a truck and TC unless you need the truck for some other purpose.
However, we camped in Yellowstone with 6 of us in our double slide TC. It's crowded with everyone inside even sleeping and that's with a bunk option.
Thanks - we want to sell our second vehicle worth about $45k to make up some of the cost, since if we got a class B or C we would have to keep both our existing cars.
Also, the trucks are far safer and better set up for child car seats. And cost of ownership from depreciation should be much lower overall.
Thanks to everyone for the comments so far - I will respond in a bit when I have time.
