Two of the travel vlogs I watch on the uTube have the hosts transitioning from a newer Class A to a much smaller travel trailer.

The other couple hasn't announced their trailer plans, just that they're selling the A.
Do the class A cost a fortune to maintain, versus a trailer and tow vehicle? I could see hauling an old trailer with a new truck - in theory that truck shouldn't need much service for the next 5-7 years vs a motorhome that already has 10-20 years on its mechanicals.
I guess taxes and insurance are a lot higher for an A vs a truck+trailer combo? I know annual Michigan registration is crazy $$$$ for the big A's versus a one-time payment for even the most luxurious 5R or TT.
