We are both retited
What does that mean?
At any rate....we have a Class C and a TT, and my brother has a Class A. Therefore, we have experience with several different aspects of RV'ing. I would say that if your style of camping is to go to a place and stay there a while, then you will probably like the travel trailer w/tow vehicle. Setting up the trailer takes longer than a MH, but this won't matter if you will in one place for a while. Also nice to not have to manage an additional drivetrain too.
If however you are the types to roam around a lot, then you will probably come to prefer the MH. A smaller Class A such as the one you desire will probably be easier to manage overall than a long truck/trailer combination. Even though you might be setting up and taking down the MH every day or two, it won't be a big deal as this takes up so little time.
Our style of camping is to roam around and see the sights during the daytime, and then go to a state park and camp for the evening. Sometimes we stay an extra day at the park if we like it a lot, but many times we leave the next (late) morning, and are off to our next destination. Our Class C is only 25' long, so it is extremely easy to manage in any parking lot or driving situation. It is also extremely easy to set up and take down. It can take as little as three minutes to go from parking brake setting to pulling the evening meal out of the fridge. We have no use for a toad, as our MH will get us anywhere we desire.
Our TT is still used, but it is now permanently parked at some land we own, and serves as our cabin getaway. I do not ever see using it again out on the road.
hth,
