The first time we took the TT out boondocking we intended to use it as a hard sided tent. That didn't last long when it dropped into the 20s and I turned on the furnace.

There are many vintage rigs that are basic. We had a 62 Cree that had a stove, a sink, ( no tanks) two lights and a ice box. We used it like a hard sided tent for 5 years.
Pop ups are another easy and simple choice and older ones can be had for a song. I almost picked one up for $500 as a guest quarters for the in laws.
The right tent can be quite comfortable. We keep out 10x20 tent and when set up, it is nearly as comfy as the trailer with a king bed, indoor potty, kitchen, seating and storage.
