Keep in mind, so far your choices are the number one most expensive for of RVing $ per sq ft.

I just had a long discussion with another couple wanting to do the same thing. After a lengthly discussion they decided a TT might be a better choice.
Does that include the cost of a vehicle to pull a TT? Maintenance for the vehicle and the camper? Life of the vehicle? This is not something I've looked into.
MH and toad (towed vehicle) = two drive trains to maintain. Higher insurance costs. Less actual living space per dollar
Truck and trailer = one drive train, lower insurance cost on the trailer, vehicle to get around in.
Someone suggested a 1500 series truck or SUV. I strongly disagree. 1500 series or SUV will severely limit the size of trailer you could comfortably tow. A 2500 series pickup will offer you decent length, read that as weight too, trailer to afford decent living space and reasonable storage. Same applies to a long bed vs short bed truck. Long bed with a decent canopy will give you additional storage space.
Send me a PM and I would be willing to foreword my discussion with the other couple on this subject if your interested.
