Class a vs. small trailer
I'm new to rv.net so if I'm asking this question in the wrong place, please forgive..
My husband and I have a 32' class a that we use a lot. Most of our camping is fairly close to home and our kids and grand kids tend to join us. We love the space of the class a especially because of the slide but we also love the roominess when it's just the two of us.
We are retiring next year and would like to spend a year camping around the U.S. I'm a bit of a nervous Nellie and the thought of all that driving (including a tow vehicle) is a little scary but spending all that time on the road makes having all that space attractive.
We are considering keeping our motor home for all those short family trips and buying a small trailer and towing with my 1999 land cruiser. We are looking at lite trailers in the 20' range and I'd like it to have a slide. We would sell the trailer when done with our trip. I know this is subjective, but could we survive with that small space after being used to the class a? I could help with the driving with the trailer but I would not want to drive class a with tow vehicle. Btw, land cruiser as a tow vehicle seems doable. I've been researching. It has 171k miles on it but it is a fantastic vehicle and would have it completely checked out before leaving.
Any thoughts?
