What kind of RV? I have had a large and well equipped truck camper for
a
few years and I still love it. Of course it has a lot less issues than
a
camper / RV with running gear will have.

Full blown dedicated RV's, Full standing up room through out the living
room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and laundry and cab area.

FYI, a truck camper is a full blown dedicated RV, but due to the lack of
running gear it has a lot less maintenance issues. My truck camper has a
bathroom with shower, kitchen with stove / oven, microwave, double basin
sink, A/C, furnace, refrigerator, etc. All it lacks is standup headroom
in the bed area.

When I think truck camper, I think the shell that sets on top of the bed
rails that is no taller than the cab top and simply lets you lay down
protected from the elements in the bed of the truck.

I usually hear those referred to as "truck cap" or "camper shell".

I am familiar with what you have, I guess when I commented full blown RV I
really should have said "dedicated" RV and or Motor Home.

I particularly like the truck camper as it is as capable as the truck
you put it on i.e. 4x4, lets you tow whatever else you need and you can
still offload it at a campsite to use the truck separately. Of course,
not having any running gear makes maint. simpler, and when you wear out
a truck, you just get a new one. With a crew cab pickup and a camper
with extended cab-over you get plenty of bed space too. On my 3500
dually, I can carry the camper and tow my 10,000# cargo trailer with
ease.
