I must admit, I was adamant that I would not camp in a TC. I wanted a 5er. However, TCs have come a long way and there are so many more options and luxuries available in today's market.
DH can live with minimal; but I however had a few more requirements. I don't want to feel closed in, so I wanted a bathroom near the front, and a TC with more windows in the living area. I also wanted a slide to ensure enough room for us and the dogs (2).
What we chose has turned out to be a perfect fit. It's bright, cheery, has more than enough storage to include a wall closet and pull out pantry. Ours also has more counter space than others that we looked at. The best thing is that the bath is near the bed so that we don't have to climb over the big dog in the middle of the night to get to it.
I know your wife thinks she can make the switch, but it's just a few things to consider from a woman's point of view. Make sure your truck is large enough...ours is about 4300 lbs wet.
Hope this helps. Choose carefully, so there will be no regrets and you will enjoy your adventures.
