keep dry and warm, those are the only things you really need to be concerned with. As long as you bring enough food and water(beer) anyway.

I have a 2008 32 foot class C Winnebago. We love it. This summer we did OBX, Hershey Park, Gettysburg, long beach Island NJ (striper fishing). Beer, firewood and juice boxes for the kids and we are good to go!

Sold our Coleman Pop-up camper after several years. Wife was decidedly unenthusiastic about it, except to go to Hattaras. (no heat, no bathroom)
My mechanic (and Lodge brother) suggested a Class C RV would be a better choice than a Class A, because the engine/transmission access is much worse on a Class A, and cost a lot less to get worked on.
Agree?

Pop up campers are sweet. Outside of that, you really need a cot to keep yourself off the ground. Those roll up mats are for the birds...

Before I retired from the Guard, I tried the issue foam mat. Uh...it was OK for a short night if we were going to be packing early for a move (like at 4am), but otherwise a folding cot was part of my gear. I used the foam mat on top of the cot for insulation (Boy Scout teaching: Twice as much insulation under you as on top of you).
Wifey is NOT a tent camper (Camping definition: Hotel without room service). She would only sleep in the pop-up at Cape Hatteras. We're thinking a used RV. My bones are getting a bit old for any thing else.
My mechanic says the Class A RVs are very difficult to access the engine and transmission. the Class C's have a van nose/engine compartment and are better to work on.

It's been a few years since a good looking goat like Libby whispered sweet nothings in my ear! OK, Libby is hilarious!
Ok, on topic, I've tent camped a lot and used air mattresses with success. My wife and I share a queen sized air mattress, and after consuming a few beverages over the course of the day, we have no trouble sleeping, or whatever else we want, on it!
