New here, wonder what way to go, RV-wise
My first post here, so I might as well introduce myself. Am from Austin, have a travel trailer (Palomino Puma 25RS, really 28 feet from ball to bumper) which is stashed at a place outside of town, an...

Thank you for the reply. I'm single, and don't really see that changing in the near or far term.
The good thing is that a TC is considered "cargo" in Austin, so there are no rules/regs by the city or the HOA. Texas, they have no title for TCs, so there is no inspection or registration. Now, off the truck, it is a different thing, but because it is so relatively small, I can probably find a parking place somewhere to drop the TC.
As for storage, being a single person, I pack relatively light. Most of my TT has storage I've not bothered to use yet.
This is very good advice. This gets me split between a TC versus a class "B". I don't really go that much off-road other than onto unpaved surfaces, and I don't really need that much space, so either will work well for me.
To me, the class "B"'s advantages is the fact that it is ready to go at any/all times. That, and the fact that it doesn't look like a RV, especially a Sportsmobile or a Winnebago Travato.
The TC's advantages are that the TC can be dropped at a campsite, and if I'm doing something where I have a campsite for a while, I can skirt the TC, ensuring that I have a lot of storage space and the air space under the bed is isolated.
Both trucks + TCs and class "B"s are expensive. I live in Texas, and because oilfield work is picking up, there are no good deals on one tons. Class "B"s may or may not be useful, but they are so rare in Texas relatively that finding a good one is hard.
