Some of these "A is better than TT" arguments are getting pretty weak.
I have a class C and a folding trailer and these are my thoughts:
1. If you already have a tow vehicle OR a toad, go that way. The money you save by not having to buy the other will get you more trips.
2. Being able to use the restroom while stopped in road construction is priceless. If you buy a TT make sure you have easy access.
3. If the trip allows, you can take the A without a toad, but you can't take the trailer without the tow vehicle.
4. Having the other person willing/able to drive the combination can be a lifesaver. If they refuse to drive one, go with the other.
5. If you like to stop for lunch, neither combo is inconvenient. If you like to eat and drive, then the A is more convenient.
6. The A will be more difficult to find a shop for engine work than a tow vehicle will be due to size.
7. If the A engine fails, you lose your home but still have a car to get around. If the tow vehicle engine fails, you still have your home but no way to get around.
8. If the A house portion or the trailer fails, you lose your home but still have a vehicle to get around.
