Advice on RV Type
My wife, Linda, and I have not yet purchased an RV. We are planning to end our winters in Illinois in the near future, so we would appreciate any advice as to the type of trailer/vehicle that might be...

Riding in a trailer is illegal in every state I'm aware of. It's more of a DOT regulation that the states follow. It's also a REALLY bad idea. Why do you think "safety chains" are required?
Your best bet is to get a motorhome, either a Class A,B, or C and tow a small cargo trailer. I'm happy with my B but my new ladyfriend may get me to get one a bit larger. The shower is useless for anyone over 4 feet tall. I'm 6 foot and she's 5'11. My trailer is larger than I wanted at 6X12 feet. I got a screaming deal so I live with the longer length. I use t for logistics support at the races. A Goldwing trike will fit in it just fine. It's tall enough I can stand up so you can ride up into it. Just get one with a ramp door on the back and, if possible, an RV latch on the side door.
A class C will probably do you the best as it has more headroom. A's are a bit hard to find a place to park and B's are handy and drive like a van, but headroom is really tight. By the way, don't get caught walking around inside while in motion. Seatbelt laws are a probably cause and police can pull you over just on not wearing a seat belt. Walking around means you don't have it on.
