I am a confirmed motorhome fan because it is all self-contained. It was heaven when the kids were little; we drove from Wyoming to Texas most years to visit grandparents, and I could fix meals without stopping, the kids had the dinette to read/play games/watch videos, and no need for bathroom stops! Really let us eat up the miles.
Now, with my physical limitations, the MH is the only way to travel. Climbing the stairs to get in is a challenge, but once I am in, everything I need is right there. I tend to bookdock overnight while travelling so I don't even have to get out to plug in. I just find a safe parking space (WM, rest area, or truck stop), park, start the gen if I need it, and hit the hay. I tend to only sleep a few hours at a time so whenever I wake up, I can hit the road even if I'm not fully dressed. ;)
I lived in a TT years ago. It was great to live in but miserable to move. Sounds like you are much more used to pulling a trailer than I ever was.
I've never pulled a toad with a MH. When we were mostly driving to family, it wasn't needed. Vacationing, we just accepted that not having a car would limit our options somewhat and had a great time anyway. The only time I can recall that a toad would have made a difference was one road in Yellowstone that I looked straight up and chickened out of trying it with the class C. lol But generally I've been fine driving on even narrow roads with a MH.
