The biggest advantage of my FWC and truck combo is that they fit in my garage.
No off site storage hassles/fees, no loading and unloading, no HOA issues, weather proof (my camper would look like the exterior of a golf ball by now in hail country) and I'm free to head for hills at the drop of a hat.
Our truck and All Terrain Camper also fit in our garage. In snow country here, that makes a big difference. It is also easy to get ready for a trip as the garage is well lit. We are loading up with the top down.
Compared to out west. Here in the east trails and FS roads are often tight and overgrown. I have had to duck my truck under more than one semi fallen tree across a FS road. I hardside will limit you in many places east of the Mississippi.
The roads we travel here west of the Mississippi can also be tight and overgrown or a very narrow shelf road. We would not go with a larger camper then we have now.
