There are numerous class A's with floor plans that can equal a fiver. We had 4 fivers and will never go back. The ride is way more comfortable and relaxing in DP MH's. I feel way safer driving the MH than I ever did in the pickup fiver Combo, and we had a one ton dually. It can rock a bit going down or up a drive but that's the extent of rocking. There's only so much you can do to get a comfortable ride in a pickup pulling a fiver, and yes it's a big difference in a good DP class A.
My maintenance costs are under 1000 per year. Most under 600. But I do have tires and batteries down the line to do. That'll be a spend. We've had ours 5 years.
I respect everyone's opinion but we feel much safer and the ride is so much better in our dually than the motor home. I was raised on a farm and still live there. Large vehicles do not intimidate me and I ever had a problem with our dp Monaco. But our F-350 feels much more stable even with the 40 foot fiver behind it. That is just how we feel and I know everyone feels different. If I had not owned one for a while I would not say anything but that is just my opinion.
