Class A vs. travel trailer - driving/operating/parking?

How many days can you dry camp with your TT? We can go 7 days without cutting back on anything. If the weather is bad I do not have to get out of the MH...fully self contained.

The only downside with a motorhome (vs a TT) is that it is simply another engine, transmission, suspension to take care of. And...that can be $$$.

For driving cross country, for instance, IMO, a motorhome is the only way to go. For local...say within, 5 hours? I'd give it a 50-50.

But then, the number of "beverages" is important.

Best reason for a Class A over a pull trailer: by the time you get leveled and hooked to shore side hookups, I'm two beverages of choice ahead of you.

Only complaint is those Ford V-10's winding up to 4500 rpm to get up a hill can be annoying. Some of the higher-end Class A's are pretty nice. I drove a Tiffin Allegro 36 footer to our RV show yesterday and really liked the tight turning radius. If I wasn't so spoiled with the Diesel's, I could get quite interested in the gassers.

A class A in bad weather (rain, cold, heavy wind, snow, or in the dark). Drive in, unhook the toad or use a pull thru spot, hit the levelers, put out the slides, plug in, go to sleep.

On a TT: Drive in, back in or use a pull thru, get out the blocks, try to get level, have to go from the TV to TT in the rain, and somehow there's more set-up involved taking longer. Youi also have to mess with the WD, the stab jacks and longer to wrap up the electrical cord.

Sewage and electrical are the same unless you use a genrator - on the class A, hit the button.

I have a 40' DP and a 26' TT. The DP is by farther easier and quicker to set up or take down.

Specially if it has a rear view camera

Thanks, Dutch - I figures that 37 feet with no swivel will be a lot easier than an OAL of 54 feet with a swivel (my last setup)

I've been driving around an F250 with 8 foot bed and a 28 foot boat for 4 years now and haven't hit anything (yet) so I guess I shouldn't worry too much about transitioning to a MH.
