Back to truck campers
We have been trying everything out like 5vrs TT, Motorhomes and van campers and just can't seem to leave alone the one type we have had before. The only problems we can think of is the swaying and nee...

There are compromises involved with every RV. For any camper, especially an TC, size and weight are big limitations. TCs seem to keep growing in size and weight. All those comforts of home sell. Then you pay the price with the cost of a large pickup and often poor ride quality. All that weight can limit travels to paved or improved gravel roads. Anyway there is no reason for me to continue to dwell on the downsides of size and weight.
To my way of thinking a TC can work really well for a couple or maybe a couple with one or two small kids. Room for 6 probably means a different type of RV.
There are a couple of compromises that my wife and I have found that work for us. First we want our comforts that starts with a queen sized bed facing north-south. A bathroom with shower is essential. We found that a wet bath really makes sense. The clean up after a shower involves shaking the shower curtain and running a squeegee across the walls and floor. That seems a small price to pay for saving the extra space needed for a dry bath. Next we decided on a TC without any slides. That means we have a narrow aisle, room for a decent dinette but no additional seating.
Again think about the compromises. On the light end there are small popup TCs. IMO those are suitable for week long trips but not for prolonged use and comfort. On the high end there are TC with multiple slides, dinettes plus couches and all sorts of amenities. Before that point I would opt for a different type of RV.
