I always appreciate the actual user experience and feedback. That is excellent! There's so many factors that it is hard to take plan it all straight away. We have a 17 month old, and decided that up and down a ladder in the middle of the night is not the best idea. To take things further, with an RTT, if he were to have a diaper blowout or wet the bed, everyone's bed is soiled. At least with ground camping, we can shuffle some equipment and bedding, and everyone is still in a comfortable place.
The one thing I've come to truly believe is that there's no ideal setup; everything is a compromise.
When I got my trailer with the FSR M60 RTT, I decided it was the best middle ground and sold the (at that point my second!) RV4. This winter, I regretted selling it. While the quicker setup-and-sleep RTT option is great in good weather and for on-the-move trips, the RV4 would have been much nicer for a winter basecamp. I miss that tent.
