But my style is primarily camping where I set up a base camp somewhere and use the TV for my sightseeing. And I go well off pavement a lot and the C isn’t very good for that. So we’re at an impasse for the moment, I see no point in a C when my TT will go everywhere a C will and many other places it won’t. As said by previous posters, the key is how you intend to travel/camp.
I'm honestly very curious as to where a TT will go that a small C on the rugged ton and a half E450 chassis - with it's wheelbase at only 139 inches, or 158 inches at most - will not? Specific examples would be appreciated.
IMHO, towing a TT comfortable enough to live in when it's fairly cold, or fairly hot, or raining for several days ... will not go places where a small well-set-up self-contained C cannot. Also, the vehicle towing the trailer will never have the traction that having a C's weight on it's rear drive wheels provides - even considering that the way less heavy tow vehicle might be a 4X4. We take our 24 foot E450 Class C offroad whenever necessary ... when the DW is in the hunt trying to find rocks!
