Too big for a T/C ?

After all the help I received here , (disappointed T/C weight) I drove 3-1/2 hours yesterday to look at the 2016 Ford 10.0 T/C.
I found several issues right off, but was told by the RV place it was being sold as is. Apparently they picked it up on auction. Beautiful on the outside but there’s no way I could even sit at the Dinette Table. My legs were crammed up, and pressed against the bottom of the table top and my head was against the overhead storage compartment. I couldn’t even be comfortable waiting out a rain/thunderstorm.

I think someone here mentioned it, but since I’m new at this I gonna take a trip in a few weeks to a couple showrooms with T/C’s both HS & SS. My wife says I’m to **** big for a T/C. 6’2” - 310 lbs. Are there any of you guys, big fellers, using a T/C and what Brands/Models are giving you the most room for sit down / Dinette? Not too worried about the bathroom- I know it’s gonna be a tight fit and would be ok with delete altogether and use outside toilet/shower. Thanks

If you have mobility issues, a truck camper will not be for you. Look at larger campers like the Chalet, Host or Eagle Cap models that have floors starting above the bed rails of a pickup.

I find with many RV's that it is the layout. On one I was in I hurt more body parts just getting in and out of it then I ever did on any of mine and it was larger then all three of my units.

That an important question, and one I always check.
Im 6'6" 236 I do ok in our 2002 Lance 1130, one of the most important things for us was a large bathroom with dry bath. Our dinette is fairly comfy and has enough room.
Before the Lance 1130 we had a Lance 165, now that was TIGHT, but it worked and was a good camper.

Off the TC topic, but ... I'm 6'2" at only a measly 220 lbs. ... and I need every internal cubic inch of our V10 E450 24 ft. Class C to be comfortable in - along with my DW.

FWIW, we take it off highway on back country roads (most places where a TC could go), we shower in it, and I sleep in the overhead cab queen bed.

P.S. We can both use the dinette at the same time, along with two others if needed.
