Comparing Class A Cost To Travel Trailers

I'm looking at going full-time in an RV and I have believed from the beginning that a Class A plus toad is much more expensive than a travel trailer plus tow vehicle, but I'm having trouble comparing the two because there are so many choices. I would also throw a large Class C into the mix as a possible choice. I'd like to compare the price of a Ford F350 towing a Keystone Sprinter 319MKS. I would like to compare it to the same basic floor plan and space with the queen bed slide, closet/wardrobe, entertainment center opposite the sofa, and a W/D prep. The toad would probably be something economical like the Mazda 3 I've been driving.

That brings up a question: If the Sprinter is 35 feet long how long will a comparable motorhome run considering it has the driver's area in front? I'm wanting to compare something of a similar level quality as the Sprinter - not a luxury Class A. Can anyone suggest a Class A or Class C that would be comparable? I'll try to link the Sprinter floorplan here.

After re-reading your original post here above, you're all over the place in what you've laid out. Unfortunately, you're going to have to do some heavy shopping to narrow down the plethora of choices you've laid out above for yourself. Your scenarios all end up at one place; it just depends. The first thing you're going to need to figure out is if you're a trailer puller, or, a motorhome driver pulling a towed vehicle. You've already laid out enough choices to make a dollars and cents determination for yourself. Then, you'll be able to plug in all your other choices, narrowing down from there in your buy funnel to zero in on the right unit for you.
