Rick jay, thank you for sharing. Thank you all for taking the time to provide input and experiences. Financially, I know it's a depreciating asset whichever way I go, but we only live once and I'm comfortable with my retirement planning. When looking at it as time I will never get back, it makes it easy to want to spend the money on the experience.
Looked at a winnebago vista 35b last year and wife loved it with bath and a half, bunks, extra bunk etc. looked st class c and it felt smaller, but still any option is better than doing nothing :)
Well, I think you've got plenty of insight here with this thread, to help you make a good decision, either way. For reasons already noted, I'd go with the TT and van if I were in your situation. However, we're all different, and we all have different needs, likes, preferences, etc. Thats why they make so many different RVs. :)
If the concerns I mentioned about 'living' space having to double as 'sleeping' space doesn't bother you, the Class A or maybe a 'super C' is probably your best choice (albeit the most expensive one, too). If you're like me, and would prefer to keep living and sleeping space separate and give everyone their own, private space to sleep, then the TT and van or large SUV is the way to go.
Do let us know once you make a move, though, and tell us what you went with. :)
Will
