A few years back I was at the KOA in Ouray, CO. Some people next to us had RTTs on their Jeeps. Every morning they packed up camp, went and did a trail and then every evening they unpacked everything and set back up.
That really seemed like a hassle to me. At that point, I decided that for the type of camping I do, a RTT on the Jeep is not the best solution.
On the other hand, I did see someone later with an off road trailer that had a RTT on it. They pulled into camp and set everything up. The trailer was set up nicely to have a nice kitchen and it had awnings to cover the kitchen area and a small picnic table. They left it set up for the week while they did their day trips out on the trails. For the kind of trips I do, that made more sense.
Once I build my Comanche though, I'll have a tow rig with a trailer so an adventure trailer wouldn't work so well. For that, I'm looking into setting up a tent on the trailer or perhaps put a RTT on the bed of the truck. For that matter, a truck cap and a simple platform for a bed in the back would work well too. I usually stay at improved campsites like KOAs so I'd have easy access to the facilities.
