All things being equal, I'd rather have a motorhome than my trailer. But all things are not equal. :B The reality for me is that for the limited use that our RV gets, it just doesn't make sense for it to have a whole nother engine/driveline, registration, insurance etc. The TT is a rider on my truck policy (a truck I'll own whether I have a TT or a Motorhome) and cheap to register. For me, the $ play a big part in the decision.
Once you are at the campsite, it's pretty much a wash. I mean for me, they both are basically kitchens and beds. We spend 95% of our time outside anyway. But my family would prefer riding in a motorhome than the van. Oh well for now!
This was us, but opposite. The only resaon we had our truck was to tow with (and the occasional large purchase.) Neither of us wanted to drive it to work because of parking situations...so moving to a C made more and more sense to us. So yeah, take the tow vehicle thing into account - do you already have something that you will tow with and would have it anyway?
And someone brought up a good point on what is meant by "small SUV"...and I'm one of these that feels that you should have a nice margin of tow capacity. What looks good on paper doesn't necessarily mean great performance in the real world.
