After years of dreaming, I'm planning on buying my first RV this year! I've looked at truck campers and class C's, and I'm torn between the two styles. As I've been evaluating them, I can see defini...

Have you switched from a truck camper to a class C or a class C to a truck camper and prefer one or the other? I would appreciate any thoughts or feedback before I start spending lots of money!
I sold a truck and camper to buy a class C that was capable of everything the truck camper combo was but with more room.Ground clearance was one of my big concerns because all of our camping is done off road in the hills of Idaho.
I finally found one with the clearance of a good 3/4 ton pickup and short enough not to be bothered by most dips or water bars.A 21ft class C with room you just don't see in truck campers..I can take this C anywhere I took my truck camper combo (2wd).
I own a 30ft travel trailer but the length of the combination truck/trailer limited where I could take it.Trailers are for dropping off and using the truck,not taking it back into where you want to go in this country.
With the C I can either tow a small pickup like the Mazda I used to tow with my 24'Beaver or take an ATV trailer and use my Yamaha Rhino to explore where know truck can go.
Yes,the C is harder to work on engine wise but most C's are way lower in miles for the price.Each outdoorsman has his own needs for his area of interest so one shoe don't fit all,in my case the C was a better choice than another truck combo.
