Long trips

RVing is all about concessions and preferences. We had Class A gassers before our FW and while they were nice for short trips, they completely wore me out on long drives. I don't care what you do to a F53 chassis, they are loud and have poor road manners. That said, we loved all the conveniences of a rolling apartment. The use of the bathroom, kitchen, bedroom TV, etc, all while underway. As far as passenger travel it simply doesn't get any better. A DP would have made it more enjoyable for the driver I am sure. But our new truck is way more comfy to drive towing the FW. It's a passenger vehicle and behaves like one and has all the modern safety features that motor homes lack. I could drive it all day. But we now have to stop to use the bathroom (although this doesn't change for the driver no matter what you have). We can pack food etc, and tablets for entertainment for passengers so it's not too bad. At a rest stop we still have access to the FW, just a matter of exiting one vehicle and entering the RV. A truck's comfort level and road manners can't be beat. You trade off some conveniences for that. A nice DP is probably the best of both worlds, but for us it didn't make sense financially since I needed a new truck anyway.
