Trees can be a real problem in unexpected places. We have been on narrow roads approaching campgrounds with no where to turn around. Then you see the trees overhanging the road. Several times I have been glad that the TM was no taller than my TV. I can go on the state and US campground roads with out staying in the middle of the road to avoid the tree limbs and playing chicken with a motor home and hoping nothing was coming around the corner. There are many hidden benefits that come with use. If the TM is for your style of camping nothing else works.
Regarding no where to turn around.

I once made a u-turn in the dark with trees all around. I wish I had a video. It was a minimum of 19 points to the u-turn. My daughter says it was more than that, be we did not count.

180/19 is about 10 degrees of rotation for each point.

It took a fair bit of patience.
