To the person who justifies a slide-out because they're campground hosts and wouldn't want to live in a non-slide all that time:
My wife and I went back and forth on this very topic for a while before buying an RV. If we were going to full time, or sit parked in one spot for long periods, we wouldn't use a TC for that - we'd get a TT.
We got a TC because we envisioned more travel, less camping. The TC is a great machine for bumming around on a long weekend, or taking a long cross-country trip, or even day-trips to the lake, the beach, whatever
Since you are probably referring to us I will address your concern. We use our TC atleast 80% of the time traveling and moving from spot to spot. When we travel we are moving all the time. We usually are towing our UTV trailer. We bought a TC for the flexibility of being able to get around. For the times when we do host at CGs we still use our TC because I have no intentions of going out and buying a 2nd RV. By having the slide out our TC is still very comfortable and adequate for us to stay stationary and live out of it. When you own only one RV you have to weigh your options and try to find the right match for your needs. A large TC with atleast one slide out works well for us no matter what our plans are for the month.
