Too much work for short trips, too small for long ones

I think that's a good point. I have a class C and a TT before that, but grew up with a TC. I find the differences in "getting ready to go" not that much different between them. The c (no toad) is the fastest, but the others weren't that extreme.

Most of the prep is the same regardless of the type - and that can be minimized with planning. The hitching/loading is the only difference and even that can be minimized to an extent.
