You'd think it would be the flip side, the woman saying that to her husband. But my childhood was filled with memories of us 4 kids with Mom & Dad in the family's 67 Fury pulling a popup canvas-top trailer. I was always filled with envy seeing converted old school buses and Big-Box Winnie Braves & Chieftains. I decided back as a kid in the 60's & 70's, I would own a motor home one day and having a kid of our own was the time to make it happen. But our first motor home HERE offered not all that much more than that old popup trailer. Our first self contained MH is what we have today bought in 2007.....I finally got there at age 49 :)
.....would have missed pulling to the side of the road and walking back to the toilet or pushing a button and firing up the genset. Can't do those things in a trailer and that was kind of the moment of truth for us.....
Like you say PSW, there is something very special about traveling in a home compared to pulling it behind you. I never grow tired of that feeling.
