Planning Retirement Trips / Deciding on a RV
I last owned a Class C 25+ years ago when the kids were small enough that they had to do what you did. I am now 1 1/2 years away from full time retirement and would like to do a few extended road trip...

We went class A for our big post-retirement trip. Wanting to keep things simple, we chose not to tow a dinghy and rent a car (Enterprise) when we needed to get out. It worked out just ok. We could stop at Walmarts along the way with the motor home and Enterprise has lots of locations and will pick you up. However, it is expensive. We spent $3k on rentals over the six month trip. We found that we were picking campgrounds based on pickup distance from an Enterprise location. It adds a level of complexity to the planning and we were sorta winging it as to where we were going next. But it did work. However, next big trip, we're towing.
I watch older people pull into a campground and the people with travel trailers seem to have the hardest time of it. I don't know why it's that much harder than a class A; just another step to unhook and support the front. It just seems like they spend a lot of time fussing with the setup.
