I’d favor the TT; I’ve used the same one for 25 years and camped all over the country. The DW has been promoting a small Class C or a Class B for a couple of years now. Her argument is everything is in one vehicle and the dogs can be in the same space we are. We can go to the bathroom without stopping and she can fix lunch while we’re on the move. True, but a weak argument in my view. I like to stop and take breaks and one can go to the bathroom then or have lunch. And I’d prefer not to eat lunch, even a sandwich, when I’m driving.
My view is it would work well for destination driving to see family with some stops along the way to sightsee. But with more shortcomings than I want if I want to camp rather than destination drive. My TT can do anything a MH can do and other things it can’t. Besides, my perception is that MH’s can be money pits compared to my TT. I know people who have spent more money to replace a set of tires than I have on my TT in 25 years. Well, until I took a recent $900 hit to replace the fridge. All RV’s have their pros and cons and it depends how one wants to use them. But if camping is the plan I think you’re better served with a TT.
Rving can be a good deal cheaper than hotels and restaurants depending on the RV you’re using. Many years ago I made a 4 day trip to San Diego. I calculated I could have made a 3 week trip to Yellowstone for the same amount of money. So I’ve never been back.
If you’re really new at this you need to attend some RV shows and get a feel for what’s out there and what suits you best. I agree with others, too, go used for the first unit. Then if you find it isn’t what you expected you won’t be hammered with depreciation expenses. Just have it checked thoroughly by someone you trust, water damage being the deal breaker. And focus on ones that your TV can pull without undue strain, pushing max ratings in no fun.Good luck.
