Forgive me if this has already been mentioned, but did you double check to make sure your Jeep was flat-towable? I'm not a Jeep expert by any means, but I believe many models can be towed with all four wheels down, but there are some that cannot. I believe this is especially true with later models. But again, I know little about Jeeps, just what I remember reading on these forums.
If you haven't looked into it, I'd just double check that because that might play into your decision.
And, while I've never owned a Travel Trailer (our Class A is our first ever RV, we bought in 2004), I can tell you that the "vacation" seems to begin as soon as I pull out of the driveway. I really think that the comforts afforded the passengers while travelling in a motorhome cannot be equaled by any other form of transportation. Especially if you have kids travelling with you. Having all of the conveniences of home right at your finger-tips while travelling down the road is pure luxury.
The example I like to use is that when we're travelling, sooner or later you hit construction, or an accident, or some other tie-up which brings you to stop & go traffic for a good period of time. In the motorhome, we use that time for potty breaks, snack/drink/lunch breaks. I've even had wifey slip behind the wheel and I've taken a bit of a break. (This is in STOP and go traffic only!!! LOL) Then, when the traffic clears, we just keep on truckin'! Many of the other vehicles on the road are heading for the next exit/Rest Stop. We made 100% use of that time. Plus we have about a 400 mile range on our rig, but I usually start looking for convenient fill-ups around the 300 mile mark. That's about 6-7 hours of
potential solid travelling time, if need be.
Obviously, my vote is for the Class A!
Good Luck,
