From 5er to class A, why?
How many of you moved from a 5er to a class A and why? I have ruled out a class C and TT so a DP 40 or a higher grade 5er appeals to me but as someone who has not rv'd before, I'm struggling to know ...

We have had 2 5th wheels and now 2 motorhomes: a small Class C and the Class A we picked up this past weekend. As we edge closer to retirement we took a close and lengthy (9 month) look at what would be the best fit for us: upgrade to a newer 5th wheel or buy a motorhome of some sort. Both had advantages and disadvantages.
For us it came down to what we were planning to do. If we were going to go someplace and stay there for months at a time, snowbird-like, then a trailer made good sense. However if we were going to follow the call of the wild geese and move frequently, every week or so to see the country as we planned to, then a motorhome made more sense.
Because we are planning to tour all 49 states and coast-to-coast in Canada in one massive full-time adventure after we retire a motorhome made the most sense for us. And a well cared for used Class A (that still looks new) was perfect!
The geese have been calling me for 10+ years and I've been ignoring them but their cries are getting louder; only a little while longer until I follow! I think DW is starting to hear them too. Or maybe she is just loving enough to follow me again. So far they have lead us to live in 3 countries on 2 continents.
