The day cab or even say a smaller regional truck like the Volvo 420 or 430 that only have a small sleeper behind the cab without the extra stuff certainly give you a smaller truck with a lower roof line that still has the advantages of a larger truck with better carrying capacity without the height restrictions. And yes, you can get those for great prices. However, I felt the midroof line gave us a nice jump in extra space without the going overkill on the condo height sleepers or extended sleepers. Everything is a trade off of course, it just depends on your needs.
Some people with the condo sleepers use their trucks as a 2nd RV for maybe 2-3 day trips where they might go somewhere they can't get their large 5th wheel, but still have the advantage of a bed, fridge, and microwave in the truck. That's something we might look into if we set the truck up to carry two motorcycles on the bed so we can take the truck to a more remote location to stay for a day or two.
