Some people go camping, they set up in the forest or at a campground for a week and "enjoy nature" or hike or whatever. If this is what you like to do a trailer may work fine and be less expensive.
My family travels via RV, we visit museums, historic sites, relatives, etc. while traveling around the country. We rarely spend more than 1 or 2 nights in the same place. For us a motorhome makes more sense. It allows for snacks, bathroom breaks, naps, etc. to all take place while in motion. (Except for the driver of course.) Thus, since selling my TC a few years ago, I'm looking for a MH.
I'm looking for a class C for a few reasons: I want a driver's door, I want the overhead bunk as we have 3 children and don't want to be converting the dinette to a bed every night, and I do my own vehicle maintenance and a C strikes me as being easier to work on.
Funny, we do museums, historic sites, etc... Traveling originally in a 5th wheel and now a travel trailer, we can be on the road just as fast as a MH pulling a toad. No more issues getting into a parking lot than a MH pulling a toad.
Of course, it's illegal for children to be wandering about while the vehicle is in motion plus it's nice to get out and stretch every 2-3hr anyway.
A MH is more likely to require converting a dinette every night in the 30ft size range. Lots of bunkhouse trailers available. Keep in mind a 30ft MH has the living space of a 24-26ft travel trailer because the cockpit isn't in the RV.
