I am not a psychologist (but I have stayed at a Holiday Inn before:B)..

...but if you did not enjoy the TT as much, do you really feel that a TC will make the RV'ing experience better? Why did you not like the TT? What aspects of the TC do you think will make it better?

I am not trying to talk you out of a TC... heck I feel it is the best type of RV. Just asking in a respectful and serious way to perhaps offset another wrong purchase or maybe determine if another type might suit you better with your already-purchased vehicle.

There are a few things with the TT I ended up not liking.
- Went too long, 34 Ft (should have probably gone with a 5th wheel at that point)
- I don't enjoy how it feels on the road, was used to our gooseneck horse trailer
- My grandparents are planning on going out west (Montana, Wyoming, etc.) They'll be staying at campsites for only a night as they mostly enjoy sightseeing. I feel like the TT would be a burden compared to a TC.

We also want to explore the US and Canada, and we don't plan at staying at one campsite for an extended period, we'll only stay to rest for a night before continuing on.
We're also considering tent camping either RTT or something like the REI Kingdom.

I don't mind the TT if we're staying at a campsite for an extended period but we're not doing that currently.

We just downsized from a 33 ft. TT to a camper (had a 33 ft. 5th wheel before the TT). We absolutely love the mobility we've gained with the camper. We can stop, park, fuel up, and make u-turns just about anywhere we please. Our camper provides for our basic needs: full-size queen bed, shower/toilet, face-to-face dinette, and full-featured kitchen (frig/stove/oven/micro). However, it's not all roses . . . storage and living space is dramatically less than a TT. If you're traveling with someone, it's going to take some practice to not get in each other's way. One thing's for sure, if stretching out in a nice recliner was a daily ritual in your TT, you may want to rethink a camper purchase--lol!
