For those who have driven both a newer gas class A and a newer pu & trailer, which one rides better on rough interstate roads?
Good question, hard to answer.
A pickup, with smaller tires at a lower air pressure, has a tendency to give less bump feedback than a heavier MH with larger tires at a higher air pressure. With that said, the trailer itself has a far greater tendency to transmit the rough road through the entire vehicle. This is more of a control/stress feeling than a straight ride issue.
Maybe said another way, I'd rather drive our MH over rough roads than pull the TT over the same roads. Subjectivity the truck may "ride" better, but at a much higher stress level than driving the MH. With the motor home there is never any feeling of the weight behind you. With the TT, rough roads will always let you know the weight is there, and you need to be 100% aware, focused, and ready to react. Of course you should always drive like that regardless of what you're driving, the truck/trailer combo magnifies the situation...IMO.
