I may (probably am) be in the minority here. If my husband and I camped in the driveway for a couple of days we WOULD kill each other. You hit the road to leave all that behind. The adventure of new things, places and people are the true joy and if you are lucky enough to have someone to share that with you - embrace it!
I was the one that wanted and found the TC. I am way too old to like sleeping on the ground (tent camping)and really got sick of paying out money for crappy hotel rooms at fishing tournaments that cost enough already. Granted, when I brought the camper home he was the one that had to do the repairs. Oddly enough that gave him a sense of "ownership" for the darn little thing. Do this as a team. I am sure you were a team in your business life so this is just an extension of that with alot less stress.
Of course, there is no guarantee of no WTH in you future. Is there ever? My best friend lost her fiance to cancer last fall. After being diagnosed, he bought a small toy-hauler to take her and the Harley camping. Only problem is that he waited too long and never had the strength to take the Harley. They did manage to take a few trips that she treasures now that he is gone. That made me decide I would rather have some WTH moments than "I wish we had done this sooner" moments.
Talk it over, research it and then DO IT!!!!
