Motor home?

Hi all,
We just got back from camping at Lake Camanche. We have a 2017 Cougar bunk house trailer, model 31sqbwe. I really like this trailer but,,,,,,,,,,,,my husband and I are both getting along in years. Hitching and unhitching are getting to be a little much. I see the dealer we got our trailer from has a Class A, 2005, winnebago 3510. Anyone here have experience with this unit? I'm not a huge fan of winnebagos but this Adventurer looks pretty nice. Thanks!
Class A

    Don't believe the hype.....a motorhome is MUCH easier to set up. Especially if the TOAD is 4 down. It takes no time when you stop to push a few buttons, plug in, and unhook the TOAD. Some cases I don't even unhook until I have had a beer and relaxed.

    The Winnebago Adventurer has only the Chevy engine, correct? I'm partial to Ford and have a Ford Excursion right now. The idea of going Chevy kinda bugs me.

    "Hitching and unhitching are getting to be a little much."

    Have someone knowledgable evaluate your hitch/unhitch method. It isn't a little much done right.

    We had an Adventurer and a Suncruiser (same but different name) They were both great with very few problems. We put about 100,000 miles combined on them. Then we bought another Winnebago, a Journey which we drove for 75,000 miles again with few problems. They make good RVs.

    Not even close to the same thing.

    I agree. Even with a stiff-arm towbar it is easier to hook up a towed vehicle than it is a travel trailer! the same goes for using a dolly to tow a vehicle. Much easier than connecting a trailer, IMO.
    Yeah, been there, did that.
    We like our motorhome.
    However, now that we have two ATVs, a toyhauler trailer is looking kind of interesting....
