Lots of talk about comparisons - but one thing is missing... we all have different situations and different preferences.
If I already owned a capable truck, a 5er would be cheaper for me.
I already own two toads, so I would never count them in the calculation comparing a motorhome to a 5er.
I would never buy less than a well equipped turbo diesel truck for towing, but I would gladly buy an F53 with the 3 valve V10.
Case in point? A motorhome is a cheaper option for me because I own two toads and would prefer better than a $35k 5er. Unless some day I decide to re-tool and own a truck. A 5er is always a cheaper option for my neighbor... because he already owns a truck with a Power Stroke.
The original question was about preferences... My vote is motorhome any day, but if I owned a truck -- I'd strongly consider converting to a 5ver for the cost savings alone.
