Considering switch from TT to truck camper
We have had a 32ft. travel trailer for five years. Due to some health/mobility issues we no longer want to deal with towing. We are considering getting a truck camper to use with our 2005 Silverado ...

With health / mobility issues, a TC may not be a good fit. You need to climb into the camper and climb into bed. Your truck's payload, limits your options in TC size / weight. You're looking at smaller hardsides and pop-ups.
I have a smaller hardside. Don't enjoy the climbing. The bathroom is so small, it's difficult changing your mind. Forget about changing clothes or showering in there. With mobility issues, it could be difficult just getting into the bathroom. With just two people, somebody is always in the way. Took the wife on a two week trip, with the TC, she said never again. It works good for a couple guys on hunting trip.
Maybe, a better option would be downsizing the travel trailer and changing to a lighter hitch. Possibly and Andersen WD hitch.
