Everyone is different, but we camped most of the time on our TransAmerica and I don't think any of us minded it at all. At 56 years old I thought it might bother my back, but I didn't have a bit of trouble (my thermarest pad worked great). We were lucky in that we didn't have much rain, that can put a damper on things if it goes on for several days.
For me it would be a really big hassle to have to make reservations. We often didn't know where we were going to stay that night let alone days or weeks ahead. To plan everything out would at least partially spoil the tour for me.
