Advice on long-term plan

One thing if you go with a MH of some type, you may feel more secure. Traveling alone is the reason I plan to go to a MH when I am able to travel more extensively in the next few years. It is really nice to pull to side of road, go to back and take care of personal business, then get a snack or drink without having to unlock and go outside. This is especially nice in unknown locations, when the weather is bad or it is dark. You can even go take a nap without getting out (or connecting anything as you can use generator to run heat/air if needed). I have long debated the two engine/transmission issue, but also decided that having the toad with the ability to get away is also actually an added security advantage. Miles and miles from family, it is nice to know you can go if you need to, even if you do have major engine/transmission failure. You might mention this to your wife, as she may feel more comfortable in a MH. In traveling with my parents in their MH, it really was nice to stop and go to the bathroom without having to worry about what was outside or what yucky bathroom, I might face if I stopped at a truck stop or rest area.
