We've (I've) towed bumper pulls and fivers. We now have a MH and will never go back.
The MH is completely self contained the minute we get in and close the door. We travel ~300 miles per day and with 150 gallon tank, we only need to fuel every 3 days. If we pull in late, the wife hits auto level while I plug in...have water and waste tanks that will last us four days if needed. Pouring down rain? Not an issue, we can sit tight and wait it out, fire up the generator and life is good; all without setting foot outside. The towed that we use rides much better than any truck we've ever owned and is cheaper to own, operate and insure.
Biggest reason? The DW will drive our MH...she won't tow anything. We are getting to the age where something could happen to me (I have both types of arthritis) and it is easy for me to damage or strain a joint leaving her "holding the bag". I asked her what she would do if anything happened to me...she said that the trailer could be found sitting on the side of the road with a For Sale sign with instructions to call her on her cell at Motel X down the street... We now own something both of us are comfortable using and the MH is much more comfortable to ride in the view "from on high" are truly spectacular.
