Anna, how fun! Love your side deck. We are in the process of selling our 8' slide-in truck camper which we've had for almost 10 years and are considering a small Class C, 5th wheel, or a bumper-pull trailer. Can't decide which, so looking at them all. Yikes, though, 44' is HUGE! Several years back (when both of us were still working) we took my Dad's 24' 5th wheel on a road trip but found it just too big at the time, and we subsequently sold it. I now wish we still had it - would have been the perfect size. Funny how things change.
