Eons ago (on this forum) someone posted these words of wisdom:
If you are sightseers and camp in a different spot each night, a motorhome is the easiest. If you are a "destination" camper - spending a few days or more in one location, then a trailer is the best setup.
For 10 years, we were sightseers and our 28' Class C was perfect. We could pull into a site in a downpour; and we never had to go outside. Just push the button, fire up the genny, and wait out the rain. Then for several years we tried snowbirding with a 28' 5er - you get SOOOO much more (usable) space in a trailer. Eventually, we tired of dragging around a trailer, so we bought a condo in FL, and now we're back to a small B-conversion for sightseeing and driving back and forth to the condo.
