Buy the 70s camper. I have one. Best $400
I spent. Its not really pretty and not really slick but it does the job. It is a
big improvement over a tent. I can make food inside, dress standing up,
open/close windows, have a porta-potty inside, store tons of stuff, have a lot
of privacy and have a table to do stuff on. Mine came with a stove, oven
& small frig. Can't find that in a tent! There is no high wind blowing at
your tent and its warmer inside an old camper than a tent. It never gets wet
inside and I can add a friend or my kids inside for the night. I also took
regular house paint and painted the outside of mine to match my truck. And then
I painted the whole inside with light colored paint over the DARK wood paneling
walls to brighten it up. I hang ride photos all over the walls. Heck, I can do
whatever I want to it. I didn't spend much on it at all. No guilt about it
getting dirty either.

Here are the options:
Give in and buy a 70's vintage, but affordable, camper
Another seaon in tents on the ground, freezing
A truck tent - goes over the bed of the truck, still freezing?
Try camping in the trailer, a three-horse slant - did this years ago at a
goat show
Talk nice & get my daughter's husband to haul our travel trailer
everywhere we go
