Full timing rig; the search continues
My family is planning on a full year tour of the states in a few years. Original plan was to use our current rig, but plans have changed; truck and fiver are gone, which opens up a motorhome purchase....

Towables are out for a few reasons:
As stated we are cramped in there, and do not want to stop every hour or 2 just to stretch our legs. It's bad enough being on the road for hours on end, without having to extend it due to a bad decision.
I won't pull without a 4x4 again. We are both getting less mobile, and getting into any rig capable of pulling a load (SUV included) is a climb, even with powered steps.
I don't need a truck anymore, so that would be another expense when not pulling (and associated headaches with owning a truck). Expense of replacing 10 tires V/S 6 maybe a wash, though. And, thought the payment maybe the same, the truck is about half the term, so that's a strike against a DP.
Most importantly, she put her foot down on this one and said no; the boss has made her ruling.
I should clarify the WD point; if we go A, then the WD is expected. However, no C I could find has space for one. Considering the price difference between platforms, laundry is not that much of an expense; I just hate replacing clothes all the time because the machines at most campsites are not kind to clothes.However, if the machine ever broke in the A, we could always dump it and use the space for storage, as laundry is much cheaper than replacing one.
