Thinking about getting a TC, but seems to be more costly???

However, once you put the wife into a 5th wheel or large TT it's over. They won't consider moving back to a truck camper.

We had a 35' FW when I bought our 8'-6" TC in 2009. Took some convincing to get her to go on the first trip or two but she quickly realized the TC travel style was worth giving up the space. We took our longest trip in the TC last year, a 4,200 mile 4 week trip to Niagara Falls and Acadia. The TC is definitely staying around for a good while longer.
