Tell us what you are calling a "camper". Some call any RV a camper, others limit it to slide in units....and what size, number of people and location.

Demetrio, you still forgot to mention, first how many persons should be living there and second, what's the facility provided in your unit.
do you have a washroom ? do you have shower? kitchen and refrigerator? Internal space to move around ?
In order to make an educated judgement, you have to clarify these issues first.
Re: certain comfort, well in order to define it, sit down in the unit you and your partner (if any) and consider life there during 3 days of rain.....do you have space to move without having to walk over each others?, Do you have the basic amenities ( television, CD..etc..)to kill the time.
If you cannot justify all above questions..well, your trailer is just good for vacations or honeymooners..they don't need much except a very narrow bed, but not for full timers.

Comfort could only be defined by you.
I'd go crazy in that small a space - you might be just fine.

I talked with a fella in Glacier NP this fall that full times in a slide in. He's been doing it for years. Goes all over the place fishing, Alaska, Florida, wherever. Has a boat on top of his slide in as well. He seemed to love it although he did seem kinda hungry fo conversation, stayed and chit-chatted with me for about 3 hours while I worked behind the gas station counter LOL

I have to agree with hemsteadc on this one. Man used to live in a cave and chase dinner down with a club. No TV no electricity no bathroom no shower no computer etc etc etc...I bet some of those were happy just to have a loin cloth and food! Heck once upon a time fire was a great new invention! I think it can only be answered by the individual doing it. Just my opinion.

I've been planning going fulltime slide-in for sometime. Got the truck ordered and I know which slide-in that I want... an Alpenlite 1100.
These new campers are pretty amazing. Queen size bed, full bathroom, kitchen, etc. To me they feel spacious.

I myself couldn't do it but there is a couple on the Escapees BB that are doing it and seem to be getting along just fine. He is still posting so I guess they haven't killed each other (just a joke). They have a 11' Lance. He posts under the name Sinclair and his name is Sterling. You could go to the Escapees BB and search for him and ask him questions. They have been fulltiming since August 2002.
