We have a 5er that has a floor plan(3 slides) that allows us to get to the fridge, bathroom, couch and recliners without opening the slides. Granted we are of the age where our children are older and have families of their own. You can pull over in a rest area or a roadside stop to have time out of the tow vehicle. We just came back last month from a 2.5 month trip out west and back and we knew where we were going to stay every day. It depends on how much time you have to travel and where you want to go. Then the research comes in. We stop fairly early in the day and very seldom need reservations. We just came back from a 10 day camping trip and had our 2 year old grandson with us.He had to sit in a baby seat and be belted in. He was good as gold and we didn't stop until about 4.5 hours into the trip. Maybe the exception. Good luck.
