I've lived out of virtually everything out there at this point. I used to have a Class A motorhome, which was quite spacious but a PITA to park, or even find parking for. And it got abysmal mileage, making gas a major expense on the trips.
Fifth wheels and detachable campers are a much better solution, because you can then use the truck/car to get around and have the camper as a home base. They are highly unstable driving, though, and not for the faint of heart on highways nor rough roads. They are also prime targets for thieves, who can easily monitor when everyone leaves.
I'm with you on being outside. A Greek friend of mine introduced me to sleeping on the roof, and going to sleep under the stars and waking up to the sun is just pure awesome. I guess over the years inclement weather has converted me more to glamping. While I love being outside, I hate being wet and gritty. Though a nice warm cleansing summer rain is always refreshing.
