Like most I have been a long time lurker.
I have always liked SMB's but never really wanted another vehicle to maintain, that has changed.
I do most of my camping in the winter.
I had a 4 wheel pop-up camper for a couple years but had to lift the top to cook or sleep 2 people. I had issues with snow freezing and not being able to get the top closed. I had to break the bed down to drive from camp spot to the resort (1st world problem but it is a PITA).
I bought a hard sided truck camper and it is much better for winter camping. Don't have take the bed down and cold windy nights don't bother me. The issue I have is that to chase powder I usually have to drive through really bad weather with strong winds, not fun driving the giant wall that is my TC. I have spend many hours white knuckling and butt puckering to get fresh POW. The other issue is I can't keep the camper on the truck all the time so I have to load it and unload it almost every time I use it.
I would like to hear others opinions, is the SMB going to finally fit my needs?
