I would go and look at a lot of TCs. Have the wife climb up in the bunk to make sure she doesn't have any problems. Going from a $100000.00 class C to a TC will be a real shock. Good Luck.

A TCer for many is NOT a ideal solution. Small, lots of steps, SMALL :-)
My wife promised me that she would camp in the TCer, she does but not happily.
As far as a pop up over a hard sided, I went with a light hard sided as I love being able to stop any place any time and being able to go in the back, do what I want to, then hit the road without bending over or having to raise the top.
On edit: reading your post again that you had a Class B before the C I honestly don't think your wife would be happy with any RV. Think you may be better off to keep what you have now, enjoy it and realize that you have an expensive and large car :-)
