Yes, it may not be realistic as you say.
We feel like we need a Class A because it will be a home away from home for possibly months. So, it's a bit more than just camping.
So, we're starting to consider that maybe we need to have Mommy just drive the Toad separately with kids in tow, and Daddy will drive the coach. We plan on short (less than 8-10 hour) hops between destinations and longer stays (1-2 weeks) at each, so maybe this is not such a big concession... not being together in the Coach when traveling.
The fuel costs will be more, but it would save the Coach from having to tow the Toad... so maybe that cost is mitigated somewhat.
Any other variables in that plan that we're not considering?
The reason we switched from a towable to a motorhome was when our twins were born. Initially it was on the road diaper changes every 1 - 2 hours and or my wife or daughter needing to use the restroom. A towable became untenable. We had several other benefits because our twins were preemies we had a very strict feeding schedule. With the motorhome my wife could feed them while under way. Potty training our twins was a breeze compared to when we had a towable. We also have less "are we there yet" going on because the kids can easily see outside, watch TV, or play with their devices. We basically tour around in the motorhome sometimes even on day trips. It's just too convenient to have a restroom and food onboard rather than being forced to purchase it on the road.
