Able to use the bathroom while traveling
Make and eat lunch while traveling
Easier to load and go than trailer, IMHO
For us, the cost of our Class A was about $30,000 less than a truck and trailer of same size and amenities. We already had a tow vehicle.

Chassis repairs are the difference.
Good luck and have fun. Memories made on the road cannot be repeated at your typical home.
