Either way, sounds like a great time to be had!
Honestly, your intended use, to me, appears to smack dab in the middle of the flip a coin to see which is more preferable.
You'll get a bit more use able living space for similar size/$ comparison out of a TT. Little easier, park the moho, grab the Jeep and go with the moho combo.
Cost?
$40k GD 312
$50k +/- (gas/vs diesel, work truck vs upscale, actually $40k-70k)
$80-90k new gasser 35-36' class A
$25-35k new Wrangler (could be $20-40k depending what you get)
If you're comparing $200k coaches, then the truck n trailer seems like a huge bargain. If you're comparing gas powered A's then the gap is narrowed significantly.
Just pulling a TT, you don't need the biggest truck. Short bed ext or crew cab single wheel is pretty city friendly, but for long term, a TT the size you're looking at is better suited for a HD pickup not a half ton. Once out of the city it's not a hindrance at all unless you're hitting the trails in which case the Yeep (espanol for Jeep, lol) will be better.
So back to the beginning, flip a coin. One thing I've considered, is if you take alot of "side trips" where maybe you're not parked in a campground already, it looks weird to drop a TT and leave it for the day in a random parking lot. It doesn't look weird to leave the moho sitting there.
