Different strokes for different folks. I've done all types of camping such as tents, camper shell, pop up camper on pickup, hard side camper on pickup, travel trailer, etc.

For me, the comforts of a 4x4 pickup with overhead camper is the best all around. SHOWER! hot water,toilet, running water, beds, dinette to sit at, heater, windows, lock on door, refrigerator, you name it easily win the day.

Like my showers to stay clean but I camp pretty minimal. I like a base camp which just costs of my pickup, no camper, just sleep in truck. Rig me a way to shower at base, then backpack out from there for one or two nights. And when I do that I don't use a tent, just a cheap tarp that can be rigged up tent like but usually just put part of it below my sleeping bag and part on top. Keeps dew off me. Wake up, make coffee and breakfast. Roll up and back on trail. I like a true back country trip or nothing at all so it's not about comfort. I'm on a ranch so my day to day is probably like camping to some.
