We are avid tent campers from the 50s and only started camping in our OFF-ROAD POPUP setup since 2008. Our three room tents were setup pretty nice. Rugs on the floor and portable high beds with air mattress inserts. Watched HDTV every night.
If you like camping more then traveling I would stick with the smaller sized trailers that you can get back off the trails like in the Natl Forest areas. Some of us have different ideas of getting a bigger trailer is 'moving up'
We have all the modern appliances we like to have in our OFF=ROAD POPUP camper and our camper will go anywhere my 4WD TRUCK will pull it to. I get excellent gas mileage going down the roads and expenses and fees including maintenance are very low. Can make it to the Smoky Mtns south of Gatlinburg TN from Northern Neck VA on one tank of gas in my setup. Sometimes we are running the roads with other much larger RV setups and when we all get to the final destination at the end of the full day of travel the other drivers are all beat up big time from the trip - we are as fresh as you can expect... The bigger the RV UNIT gets the more work and expenses it is going to be heading down the roads...
I would think for us up to around 24-26 foot length RV Trailer units would be my maximum choice.
We enjoy our much smaller setup which is perfect for the two of us.

I agree that everyone has a different idea of "moving-up" and size isn't always the deciding factor.
I camp with the family out of my 30 foot TT and it can go anywhere a semi-truck can go LOL.
I tent camp with my friends on paddle-in excursions and have just as much enjoyment
