Stick with truck camper or go for RV?
Hey guys. kinda new to all camping RV's, tt's and tc's. I need to ask the more experienced: are there 20-25 ft class A or C RV's which are a bit more off roadable? As in able to travel the beaches...

They exist alright and can be yours for around $400,000.00!

With that being said almost anything you touch is not going to get 17mpg like your stated current MPG - which is absolutely amazing! Especially considering the weight of the TC and higher less aerodynamic profile of the rig going down the road. I would say be prepared to get 6-10MPG if buy an RV. That might be reason enough to just keep what ya got.
You probably need to decide which is more important to you though - the extra capability a TC offers with 4x4 and ease of driving/parking OR the extra amenities a larger RV offers.
If you're comfortable towing - you could have the best of both worlds really. 4x4 truck and a 20-25ft camper or so. Mine is 30ft long and has a higher than average ground clearance for a trailer. I've gotten into some pretty knarly forest service camping spots (not manicured campgrounds) and have needed the 4x4 on a few occasions. I almost exclusively boondocks with no hookups. You might consider this type of setup. Your MPG wills till suck. I get around 13mpg towing overall. Best was 14 or so and worst around 10.
Best of luck to you whatever you decide.
