My wife and I are considering downsizing from a 40' 5th wheel to a camper van 21'-24' long. Looking at Roadtrek and Airstreams right now. Difficulty with 5th wheel range from 2 blown tires and $9,000...
Had a 42 foot Beaver for 12 years and 122,000 miles. Plus a car to tow. Now have a 23 foot PleasureWay and don't tow anything. It is like having a cabin instead of a house. Everything is easier with a lot less stuff to break. The only thing I don't like is that it is less usable in sub freezing weather.
