We have enjoyed our little camper for 7 years without AC, generator, microwave, TV, or stereo. Likely we'll acquire all of these when we upsize, and I will undoubtedly look back and wonder how we managed otherwise. On the other hand, we currently can go anywhere a pickup can, which I know I will miss. There are always trade-offs. As with Anna, we plan to take more extensive winter trips, so creature comforts will become more important.
