I have a carry it all mindset. I'm not looking to compromise or make do. With that in mind I want a large RV with lots of space, lots of storage and lots of carrying capacity. A genset or now days A/C capable solar is a must. I want the ability to be totally self contained if necessary.
I don't want to fear or struggle with hills or mountains going up or down. I want my entire experience to be relaxing.
With all those factors in mind I have a diesel dually truck and a 40' 5th wheel.

If you are going to stick to large commercial campgrounds, that works...it's a compromise but it works.

Air/con capable solar system is still not practical. It can be done but it really gets silly very quickly or you are back to compromise in terms of limiting the cooling use.

I will agree, if you are going to get a 40ft monster, diesel dully makes a lot of sense as the tow vehicle but again it comes as a compromise.

I think we are mis using compromise. Compromise implies sacrifice or not getting what I realy want.
When I take my rig out I'm not sacrificing or compromising at all.
I don't wish I could go to some remote area or travel down a logging road.
I want to go somewhere that can accomodate my 5 slide unit.
I have no problem finding those places.
No the plces I go are not packed like sardines, although I have been to very tight places I have learned where to go and where not to go.
We all learn to pick our destinations and gravitate to places we like.
If I chose to remote camp, I would likely have a smaller unit, but again that is not my style or what I want to do.
If I wanted a rig that was easier to back up, I would most likely have a smaller unit but again that is not my desire. I don't mind the challeges/requirements of having a larger unit.
I don't think the guy in the scamp or TC is sacrificing because they chose a smaller RV. They are merely going with what they like.
There is no sacrifice or compromise involved if you have made a decision to do it your way.
