The general rule is if you're going to sit a lot, a trailer or 5th wheel is best. Traveling - a class C or class A motor home.
My experience is it takes about the same amount of time to set up or tear down in real life.
In real life, you still need to hook up the TOAD to a MH. Everything else is about the same (assuming similarly outfitted RV's)
As a 5er owner who rarely spends more than 3 days anywhere I'd love to know where that generalisation comes from.
Time for setup & teardown is about a wash. I have yet to see anyone in an A get up & use the bathroom while cruising down the highway & I sure don't want the DW up & about making lunch while on the road either.
You can pull into Walmart & not have to go outside. Big deal! How often does one stop at Walmart & NOT go inside for something. Again, a wash.
True, sitting up there right behind that big beautiful windshield is nice. It puts you so much closer to the action when you get to the scene of a crash. No crush zone.
Still, there is a seat for everyones backside to sit in. We simply have to decide which type fits best.
