What are the top 5 advantages of a TC?

1. If you are pulling a trailer anyway, other RV options provide better living quarters.
2. If you are pulling a big trailer, getting into parking spots isn't an advantage.
3. Standard to have kitchen/bed/bathroom/bed with most RVs.
4. Unless you get over 25, length is rarely an issue for any type of RV finding a site in a campground.
5. Still not going to be fun driving on icy roads in a snowstorm (doubly so if you are pulling a big trailer behind it.

The real advantage is to get onto rough roads and back country where a MH or trailer would have problems.

If you want to drag along a bunch of toys, there are other options that are equal or better depending on the specific toys.

1. My wife won't step foot in it.
2. ditto
3. X3
4. same as above
5. Mega dittoes

Can't go anywhere unless you break camp...anywhere.

Feel free to add your list of the top 5 advantages of a TC. Here are mine.

1. Able to pull a significant trailer.
2. Can park in many parking lots, so it travels well.
3. Have my kitchen/bed/bathroom/bed with me.
4. Easy to get campground spaces due to short length.
5. Good for winter since it is on my 4 wheel drive truck

6. It ability to pull double duty.

This is the #1 reason I chose a truck camper. It kinda ties into #1 though. I can just go camping or I can go racing and still have the camper with me.

No for me. I have no interest in pulling a trailer and a trailer would seriously reduce mobility. It would certainly rule out #2, being able to park in a typical parking lot, and #3, being able to get into small campground spaces, and #4, being able to drive in the winter.

I've pulled a utility trailer on hunting trips and it worked well. Usually a 18 hour drive with hunting buddies taking turns driving straight through.
Normal fishing and racing trips, no trailer.
I miss traveling with the Bigfoot. Been a year. I'm tuning it up hoping to use it soon.

5. Ability to go off road.

Yeah, but consider who started the topic.
When you start it with misleading information, where do you expect it to go?

Of course, “my” list is my list. So, you are just wrong again, but why not list your list instead of being wrong about mine?

The title says "What are the top 5 advantages of a TC? "
so obviously it is you, who is wrong.
In my list I would put
- it is allowed to park at tent sites in some jurisdictions.

Maytag, you have issues, man...
