I came from a 35' double slide 5th wheel to a non-slide truck camper. There's only 3 of us but so far we are glad we made the change.
I was always a fan of more remote camping, boondocking, smaller parks off the beaten patch etc. whereas my wife and daughter liked the resorts. Slowly they've come around to my way of thinking I guess. We now use the camper more for exploring the area and spend less time in the actual campground.
We do miss the 5th sometimes when it's raining or something but even then we just try to adapt. For us it's made the entire experience much simpler and less stressful.
Most of our friends think we're insane though lol
