the simple answer is BECAUSE THEY CAN or WANT. I have a small 19' trailer that will sleep 5. You certainly aren't going to dance in there. My house is way more comfortable than my trailer so when i ...

As others have said ...to each their own. It is a matter of WANT, we as humans NEED very little to survive. We cut our stick house size in half, so in a few years our home with wheels is paid off by the utility savings of our house. Our house meets our needs and allows us more time on the road where we want to be. Why do people have such large houses?
We started with a tent, upgraded to a pop up to get off the ground, then to a 23' TT with rear queen slide so it was easier to go camping in the rain and cold. We spent 3 weeks on the road in the TT in the south east this summer (100* days), spent a good bit of time inside and decided we WANT a side slide. It was too cramped with 4 people inside. However, aside from our summer trips, most of our camping is in the woods so we really aren't in the camper. Our goal is to get everything we want in the smallest footprint possible. We just purchased a used 30' fifth wheel with side slide. It will only be slightly longer from front bumper of truck to rear bumper of trailer than my current setup but the interior space of the camper will easily double in size.
Five years ago we never ever would have thought we would have a camper this big, but what we do with our camper has changed and we love life on the road. WE are aware, there are plenty of people who will walk by and think the same thoughts as the question asked in the post, but this is what we feel we WANT to fulfill our camping trips throughout the year.
Happy Camping!
