I also want to talk about the size not brand.. Our 23b is really 25 foot over all. It is easy to drive so both my wife and I drive it any where. We do not tow. We never have a problem finding a place to park it for sight seeing or shopping. But do end up walking some. We keep it parked out side the front door and use it any time we go for a day trip. Perhaps fishing (can do that with in 15 miles of home), just to visit friends or just park up in the high country in a spot with a great view for lunch. We always have the AC ect and our own bath. We do quick pull downs with the fridge by putting bags of ice cubes in both freezer and fridge and then filling with cold food so really using it as an ice chest untill it pulls it self down. So quick get aways are easy. We often turn the water heater on and when it reaches temp we turn it off. It keeps enough hot water for normal use the rest of the day until evening on very little propane. We never leave the water heater on when not using it. We often run 2 or 3 days on our tanks and batterys with no hookups. We are all weather..
For us to go shopping in Calif is a 200 mile round trip south to Redding or a 100 mile trip north to Medford Oregon. Going eather way we leave Fri. evening, and go to a camp ground or resort spend the night. perhaps go into town and look around but not buy much and back to campground. Sunday on our trip home we make our big shopping . So lots of mini vacations. I never worry about fuel cost as when you have it all with you there is little reason to eat out or stay in motels. Both states are taking out rest areas and at my age am not always able to wait another hour or so to the next stop..
If I were full timing or spend more than a month at a time or had a lot of family come with us I would go bigger. We have only the MH and our winter driver the Subaru Forester..
If you look at a small rig like we do you may find your self using it lots more for more things instead of a couple times a year for camping like most of our friends..
