We bought a TT for one reason convenience. We wanted to tour the country for weeks at a time and not have the hassle of setting up and taking down every time we moved, often every other day.
All this is nice but.
* A TT has a lot more maintenance.
* You can expect 10 MPG
* You will travel at 55 to 60 mph and about 300 miles a day.
* You will need a tow vehicle that is up to the task.
Convenience cost, not only in dollars but while sitting in the kitchen booth drinking your microwaved coffee, there is a loss of the feeling of camping.

We loved our PUP, but got tired of the loading & unloading whenever we'd arrive at or leave a CG. Enjoying our TT - but we do kind of miss the feeling of camping.
