Anyone regret downsizing to a camper?

Has anyone downsized to a camper and then went back to a larger RV because the camper was just too small?

I had a 19' travel trailer that for two was perfect.

Now that its just me a TC is perfect, the TT was better for 2.

I've had a 24ft TT, a 32ft Class A, and my current TC over 20 years. Situations change. Our TC suits us currently.

We downsized from a 25 ft travel trailer to a 2007 11 ft Lance 1055 Truck camper with a large dry bath. We would never go back to travel trailer. We love the ease of getting around and boondock quite a bit. We fit in just about any campsite. Truck camper works great for us

We have both a truck camper and a 37ft class A. One to live in and the other to travel in. We have taken the truck camper for 3 six-month trips... 2012, 2014 and last year. It's a 9.5 Host with a slide.

Living in a truck camper full time for ONE person would be just fine. For 2 people it can work for about six months. JMHO

We went from a 22' single slide toy hauler to 9' single slide truck camper. Although this worked for five years, we wanted a dry bath, side door entry and more comfortable seating. Our 11.5' triple slide truck camper gives us what we were missing.
