jlud,
I could write so much about this topic but would bore everyone to death. I’ll try to keep it short.
Having had a toyhauler and (still) having a 3/4 ton diesel, we bought a bunkbed motorhome really late, after our kids were almost grown. DW has said many times “wish we could have had this when the kids were little”.
IMHO, If you can afford it, go with the class A and tow a car, you won't regret it. Some of our reasons: Using the restroom while traveling, having everything inside same compartment, being able to move around and change seats, having lunch and snacks while traveling, using the restroom while traveling, easy setup and easy breakdown for travel, not confined to two or three rows in vehicle, using the restroom while traveling. See a common theme here? LOL Trust me, that alone is worth the price of admission.
On our first ever three week vacation we went coast to coast with my wife, our adult daughter, two large dogs, and my two in-laws. We could NOT have done that in my truck.
PS. My wife is also a clean freak and LOVES to vacuum while I'm driving. She says it saves time so she can enjoy the campgrounds with me. She even uses the crock-pot while traveling. You arrive and dinner is ready!!
Good luck with your decision and remember, your kids are only young for a short time so enjoy it while you can!!
