What Jebby said. ^
Buy an old under powered mh and plan on being handy or think dual purpose vehicles.
Pickup for a DD vehicle and a TT or TC to go with it would be my preference for part time low use.
Imo the convienence of a mh is realized when A. You're not comfortable or capable of towing or hauling. B. You prioritize the convienence of getting up to make a sandwich while driving down the highway. C. You spend enough time in it that the house may as well be permanently mounted so you don't have to deal with long trailers or loading and unloading.
Handful of trips a year with an old cousin eddy mh doesn't appeal to me from the standpoint of driving an old "moving van" cross country and the maint and upkeep on a drivetrain that will collect dust most of the year.
