The outdoors is right there outside the doors of your RV. Living in a 300 sq ft fifth wheel for one person is solitude in a cozy environment.
But stop with the analysis and make a decision. Regardless of which unit type you buy, and I think you'd be amazed at how well a pickup that can handle a good sized 5'vr drives, if you are going to do this, then do it.
