I've used a Tent trailer since '95. I love it! I'v had two campers and a motorhome. For me there are less drawbacks with the tt than the other two methods. Anyone who says they are cold has never been in one. My wife is one of those people who is always cold and she will go along elk hunting and is totally comfortable with the furnace it has. Below freezing we go through 5gal of propane in two days and nights. When away from trailer I turn furnace off and leave one stove burner on low to keep chill off is all. They heat up in 10 minutes. I do have a shop to put it up inside to dry it out before storing away. Rent one for a weekend, I think you'll like it.
