The FW / TC debate is also about traveling style. FW is definitely a park and explore returning every day to a base camp. Yes you can do some exploring between base camps, but always have to be careful. You have to pack food up for snacks during the day and have a plan for your pit stops.
With the TC, you have the choice of moseying along each day without doubling back or setting up a base camp. Unless you have dropped off the camper, you have your food and pit stop with you where ever you go. And if the go turns out to be a dead end, just back up. This is the route we plan on going for the first couple of years after retirement before reconsidering the FW option.
Since you already have the TC and truck, you could put all of your stuff in a small storage locker for a couple of month while you travel in the TC. If you like it, get rid of the stuff or continue with the rental. If you don't, then switch over to a FW.
I think this the best advice so far. I can't help but think to do other than this could be a little compulsive.
